Disable Save As... in webpage?


Question

Im having problems with people copying stuff off my site. I disabled right clicks, highlighting, and the ability to see the link at the bottom of IE. But can i stop them from just saving it as a complete page, and editing it from there?? I heard there were some scrips to do this, but I cant find any. Any help (or other page protection ideas) would be appreciated.

I am sorry to say this to you - but it would be pretty pointless.

If I wanted to rip anything off your site, i could click the "view" button and then click source. Find out the addresses of your frames and load them and view their source! ;)

It is very hard to totally secure your site from HTML stealers and graphics stealers - you have to ask yourself, is there many people who would do this?

I did find a script once where right click was disabled on the page and the view source command was disabled in the menu aswell. But unfortunately I cannot find the script on my system :mad: but otherwise you'll have to either let ppl steal from your site, or put a watermark image layer in each image that identifies your site.

You'll sort it out.

I don't think so. The file that shows on the website is just like a movie file, but the file you actually edit isn't even put on the site at all. You convert the editing file to a movie type format for the web.(non-editable)

Think of it as you keep a photoshop file on youe computer so you can edit it, but convert it to jpeg so that people can look at it.

Please correct me if I am wrong on this, but from what I know this is correct.

Haa haa, the age old problem of hiding script. Well I have tried it too. The only way I can think of is to actually insert a few hundred times before the first part of the code. Maybe enter a warning after 10 lines that the code may not be ripped and that the IP has been logged. It is enough to deter most wannabe script robbers. Give my page a look to see what I mean about this trick, not fool proof but holds most amateurs out.

You could also try loading all your pages into full screen mode whenever they are entered. I had that script someplace but it is easy to find if you have a look on some of the better script sites.

Okay.

SWF-Browser

http://swifftools.com/

Features:

'The SWF Browser is a handy tool for everybody that uses Macromedia's Flash. The Browser has an Explorer like interface enabling you to quickly browse thru all SWF's on your harddrive or network.

It also gives you ways of browsing thru a .SWF file's "guts".

Finally you can extract many parts from the file. (i.e. bitmaps, sounds, movieclips).'

It will also remove file-protection from .swf's. I'd tell you how to remove it with a hex editor, but this isn't the place. :p There was also a program awhile back that could extract actionscripting from .swf's, but I forgot what/where you could get it...

    • Windows 11 KB5094126, KB5093998 bugging out Office apps but it may not be Microsoft's fault by Sayan Sen Microsoft last week released Windows 11 KB5094126 and KB5093998 as the latest Patch Tuesday updates. Following that the company also published the accompanying dynamic updates under KB5094149, KB5095971, and KB5094156. Although the tech giant did not acknowledge any major problems, some users online reported various issues ranging from OneDrive and Dropbox access problems, BitLocker recovery lockouts, to blue screens and BSODs. You can read about them in this dedicated piece. While there is still no confirmation about those problems from Microsoft the company has admitted to another bug which we did not report on. The tech giant has confirmed it has received reports of an issue in which certain third-party applications may be unable to launch Microsoft Office apps or open Office documents after installing the Patch Tuesday. This affects both Windows 11 as well as Windows 10. The company says the problem impacts a subset of applications that rely on OLE (Object Linking and Embedding) automation to communicate with Microsoft Office programs. According to Microsoft, affected scenarios involve third-party software attempting to open Office applications or documents from within their own interface. In such cases, the Office program may fail to launch altogether, or the requested document may not open. Oddly there may not be any error message, which probably makes the issue difficult to diagnose. The bug affects several Office products, including Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Access, and other apps in the Microsoft Office suite when they are launched through the affected software. These include tax and accounting software such as CCH Engagement and Workpaper Manager, dental practice management solutions like Dentrix and Softdent, as well as the popular research and reference management tool Zotero. Microsoft adds that other applications using similar Office integration methods could also experience the same problematic behavior. To understand the issue it is important to look at OLE, the Microsoft technology involved. OLE allows different applications to work together and share data, while its Automation feature lets one program control another. Thus this enables third-party software to launch Microsoft Office apps, open documents, and perform tasks automatically without requiring users to switch between programs. Because many accounting, healthcare, research, and business applications rely on OLE automation to interact with Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and other Office apps, any disruption can break those workflows. As a result, affected software may be unable to open Office documents or launch Office applications even though the programs themselves continue to work normally. At the moment the company has not provided a permanent fix though it has confirmed that engineers are actively working on a resolution, which will be delivered through a future Windows update. As such additional details will be shared once more information becomes available. In the meantime, Microsoft recommends a simple workaround for affected users whic is to open the Office application or document directly rather than launching it through the third-party program. For enterprise customers and organizations managing larger deployments, Microsoft says an additional mitigation is available. Admins experiencing the problem on their managed devices are advised to contact Microsoft Support for business to obtain and apply the workaround.
