Disabling the IE6 Image Toolbar

There are two ways of disabling the new image-viewing/stealing capabilities of IE6: 1) By adjusting the image tags, and 2) Adding meta tag information. These instructions are only for those members not using SiteBuilder on their pages, usually the non-index pages. SiteBuilder Classic users cannot alter anything in the <HEAD> section of the page nor can be add any information to the Insert Image element other than what is present. If using SiteBuilder on the pages, we must either layer a transparent gif on the image and/or use a no-right-click JavaScript.

Here are the image tag alteration and the meta tag methods courtesy of Dynamic Drive.

Image Tag

In the image tag, add galleryimg="no":

<img src="picture.jpg" width="xxx" height="xxx" border="0" galleryimg="no">

Meta Tag

In the <HEAD> section of your page, add the following:

<META HTTP-EQUIV="imagetoolbar" CONTENT="no">

Well now then, that takes care of your visitors using IE6. Remember, there is no fool-proof method of thwarting thieves. If you have a photo or graphic that you do not want to have lifted, don't put it on the web or else embed a watermark, visible or invisible, on it. You can use MS Paint to put a visible text on it or a product like Picture Shark for visible watermarks, or a product like Paint Shop Pro for either a visible or invisible watermark.
