Yeah if you show the images on the client site using something like this: img src=showImage.cfm Where showImage.cfm uses CFCONTENT to push the image. That way in showIMage you can check the referrer and if it's not from the client's site they get to see the image you'd prefer they

With cfcontent, the link to the image will be something like src=myimage.cfm?id-10. In which case, myimage.cfm holds the cfcontent tag and perhaps prompt to login. When ebay folks try to link to the image src, they just get prompted to a login page. Hth. -Original Message- From:

Or you could do it with your web server. With Apache you could use mod_rewrite, and I believe IIS would require Isapi rewrite to be installed. You would have the web server check the http referrer for you and rewrite it with a different image. Ideally, one so annoying they would never steal an
