clearing the clipboard?

[rhys]

Is there a way to erase everything in someone's clipboard with javascript? I don't want to use this in a bad way, i want to use it to keep my pictures on my site from being taken.

It's possible to clear the clipboard in Internet Explorer, but it only clears ASCII data (text), not binary data (images or other files). Putting it plain and simple, you can't protect your images at all--even with a no-right-click script and an hotlinking script on the server. The best thing to do, is to copyright the images, so that it is illegal for people to steal them.

Yeah, I know it's impossible or nearly impossible to completely protect images, but I just want to do what I can to help prevent it. It's not a big site where a lot of knowledgeable people will figure out ways around my protection. It's pretty much just a website for pictures I take and for my friends to look at... but there are a lot of people I don't like and who don't like me.

You could password-protect it or something...
