Printing, Copy & Paste Blocking

[Qrious]

I'd like to add a feature to my Frontpage website similar to what Amazon.com
and some other sites have, and that is the ability to prevent site visitors
from printing certain information as well as copying and pasting certain info.

I was told that this could be done through java scripting. Can someone
enlighten me and point me in the right direction?

Thank you,
Qrious

How do I stop people from downloading my graphics or code?

Hi,

If you're doing this to protect the content it is not possible as the content can just be captured or the cache may be used.

Hi,
Blocking printing is done with css but while it may thwart the average user
anyone with a bit of savvy can get around it.
<style type="text/css" media="print">
#noPrint{
display:none;
}
</style>
<div id="noPrint">
....content won't print......
</div>

To my knowledge there's no way to prevent copy/paste

Thanks all for your quick responses. They were all informative.

I think Jon points is what I'm after. I want to thwart the average user.
If you go to the Amazon.com link supplied below, you'll get an idea of what
I'm trying to do. Amazon.com allows you to look at selected pages within a
book, however, they have it protected such that you can't copy & paste or
print the selected page. I'd like to do that with the photo galleries I have
on my site. Again, to thwart the average user.

Wow - Ater attempting to copy the web page address from the Amazon site, it
wouldn't even allow me to do that...so I'll type it manually.

This link will bring up the front cover of the book, which you can't copy
either. For further support click on any of the other selected pages (Table
of Contents for example) and you'll find that you can't copy and paste those
either.

Thanks again,

That 's because the "image" is not an image but an applet (flash or JAVA)
