Dr. Website Archives Dr. Website® Archives 2002 Feb 28, 2002 Question: Dear Dr. Website: Are there any free services to track who visits the my website? Answer: I just happen to see a service today on http://www.scriptsearch.com/ It said, its a free script that will do just that. Here's the link http://www.scriptsearch.com/cgi-bin/jump.cgi?ID=52 Thanks --Dr.Website Question: Dear Dr. Website: If after viewing my website, how do I stop someone who really likes it from reproducing it with mabye just a few changes? Thank you Answer: If you're talking about the code, not much you can do unless you have copyrighted specific instances of your code (i.e. a JavaScript script). If you're talking about your design, it's all a matter of finding them. We've had many sites that use our whole layout for their own, only changing the images and content. In most of those instances we've decided it wasn't worth even approaching them, given the nature of the web (and the predominance of template-based publishing systems, which tend to crank out similar looking sites). Now if you have a very unique design, and someone takes the whole thing as their own, minus a few small changes, it'd be time to talk to your attorney. Draft a cease and desist letter to them yourself, wait for their response, and if they don't respond favorably, have your lawyer handle the case. The thing you'd have to prove is that visitors to the offending site may be confused and believe they are on your site, which would or could hurt your business. That said, please understand that we are not lawyers, and don't want you to interpret this as legal advice...it's just our opinion of how to handle such cases. Thanks, --Dr.Website Question: Dear Dr. Website: I read the interesting article on your website about using a java applet on a web page. I have experimented with several java applets. They will work properly when viewed in web pages which are local on my PC, but when I view the web page after uploading it to the server, all I see is the gray box outline of the applet graphic. An example is: http://www.atlgoc.org/Lake.htm What am I doing wrong? Is there some special technique involved in transferring java applets to a server to avoid this problem? I feel I am so close, yet so far, to being able to effectively use java on websites. Thank you for your courtesy and cooperation. Answer: Although I'd have to see a sample page to know what the problem is, typically folks tend to leave out the "codebase" parameter of the JAVA applet tag. The codebase tag is what points to the directory that your Java class files are stored in. Additionally, you need to make sure that your applet (class file) is transferred to your web server in binary mode, not ascii. If you still have problems, send us a URL to look at and we'll take a gander. Thanks --Dr.Website Question: Dear Dr. Website: How do I keep my copyrighted pictures(jpgs) from being ripped off. Is there a way to disable the "right click", "save picture as" function? Answer: We receive this question so often that we devoted a whole article to it on our site, WDVL.com (the Web Developer's Virtual Library): http://wdvl.internet.com/Graphics/Theft/scripts.html You may also want to browse this listing: http://wdvl.internet.com/Graphics/Theft/ Thanks --Dr.Website ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
