Annoying popup when displaying image

[gazolba]

I have a loop that shows a slide show of photos (done using setTimeouts).

In IE 6, I get an annoying popup with 4 (maybe 5) icons appearing over some of the photographs (not all), it appears to be random in occurence and position.

It looks like a graphical representation of the right-click menu (because it has a diskette icon in it) but I could be wrong.

Any idea what this is and how to suppress it?

do you have a link or a copy of the file that we could look at?

The popup has 4 icons, diskette, printer, envelope, file

If you right click on the ad to the top right of the forum screen, you'll see the popup. It appears in addition to the right-click menu.

I'm using IE 6.0.2600

Maybe it depends on some preference setting?

I can't show you the code because its proprietary.

I think that is just a new "feature" in IE 6.0 I use the same browser and whenever I mouse over a picture and leave the cursor still that menu will appear. I don't know of anything you can do about it.

From MSDN docs:

Image toolbar
As a content developer, you can disable the image toolbar, so that it does not appear when end users move the pointer over images in your pages. This provides you with more control over the end-user experience on your site. As with previous versions of Internet Explorer, end users can still right-click images to save or print them, as well as send them through e-mail. The image toolbar can be disabled either through a meta tag, <META HTTP-EQUIV="imagetoolbar" CONTENT="no"> or by setting the attribute GALLERYIMG="no" to an IMG tag element.
