Protecting photos

I want to be able to put some photo on my website for sale. Is there way to
put on in Frontpage 2003 and protect them so they can NOT be copied or
downloaded

Make the display "samples" as small as possible, low res. and watermark
them.

There is no way to prevent anyone downloading your photos. When some one
views your site, the web site's files (including images) download to the
users's PC so they can be viewed in the browser. That's the way the
internet works.

Only suggestion is you put low quality sample images as the products you're
selling and then send the buyer the high quality images. But there's no
stopping *them* copying and redistributing the images after purchase.

There are scripts that block the right-click context menu, but there's ways
around these (they are not foolproof), these scripts also can be blocked by
Firefox and other such browsers. The no right click also frustrates users
since there's more to that menu that "save image as" and "view source".
