HTML Protection

[Dr_DK]

Hello people,

I have another good one!
:confused:
It is possible to disable print on websites?
Before you answer "NO", it is!!!

The only question lies in how to? I'm not sure if you all have seen htmlprotectors, but they cost some $. That's not the point, the point is figuring it out by yourself.

I know how to disable view source, right click, copy & paste, drag, and hide context menu, but how do you dissable print?

The way I've seen it work is, you can print, but it's just blank white page!!! In other words, they are hiding, or encrypting all their content!

Does anybody know how that can be done?

Thanks a lot! :D

Yes, but it will only work in IE:


<link rel=alternate media=print href="blank.txt">

Thanks a lot Jona!

Is there anything that works on NS also?

Thank you!

No, I do not believe it can be done in Netscape--but you might want to try looking into CSS and the at-rule.

Really, you can't.
There is no truly effective way to disable printing, view source, or right click.
Any of those methods can be gotten around in 10 minutes max, by disabling javascript, turning of stylesheets, or using a program like Proxomitron to filter parts of the code out.
