Anybody know one that will work?? I don't want people to steal my images because I don't have a copyright for others to use them. Help?

I don't think that you can disable right clicking in MySpace and beyond that, people can print screen, then crop in an editing software.

My suggestion would be to watermark and/or put a tasteful copyright somewhere on the image(s).

Java script isn't allowed on Myspace, but someone said this code still worked? I got it from a site, and the credit is still there. If you Decide to use it, make sure you keep it on.

CODE
<head>

<script language="JavaScript"> <!--
// No rightclick script v.2.5
// © 1998 barts1000
// barts1000@aol.com
// Don't delete this header!

var message="Sorry, that function is disabled.\n\nContents & Graphics Copyright İyour name\nOur work is not Public Domain, and should NOT be taken from this site."; // Message for the alert box

// Don't edit below!

function click(e) {
if (document.all) {
if (event.button == 2) {
alert(message);
return false;
}
}
if (document.layers) {
if (e.which == 3) {
alert(message);
return false;
}
}
}
if (document.layers) {
document.captureEvents(Event.MOUSEDOWN);
}
document.onmousedown=click;
// --> </script>

Another code, which you can only use if the images are posted directly on your profile. This cannot be used on your album images.

CODE
<div style="width:XXXpx; height:YYYpx; background-image:url(http://YourImageUrlHere);">
<img src="http://x.myspace.com/images/clear.gif" width="XXXpx" height="YYYpx" border="0">
</div>


I know there is a code out there, that when you right-click on someone's myspace image, it shuts down their browser. If I find it, I'll post it.

CODE
<div style="width:250px; height:250px; background-image:url(URL OF IMAGE);">
<img src="http://x.myspace.com/images/clear.gif" style="width:250px; height:250px;">
</div>

Adding a watermark/copyright is the only way to really prevent that. Putting your image in a DIV will prevent right-clicking on an image but people can still print-screen. Javascript doesn't work anymore. It only works on old profiles because they put that code in before MySpace blocked Javascript.

There's no sure way to stop people from stealing your images but you can still use the DIV method. At least it stops people from right-clicking on an image.

you can place a "blank" pixel over the images and when thay right click and save they get a clear pixel...instead of your image but also they can print screen it...
another way is to "Flash" it but yeah..images you dont want stolen dont need to be places in myspace anyways IMO..
IMVU allows javascripts in their profiles and is just like myspace in layout factor almost

^Exactly, but people can still use the Print Screen method to take that image. LOL.
