View source problems...

ie 6

[madcat]

Right click 'View Source' is disabled for some reason on IE 6.

Is there a setting that could have accidentally been adjusted?

This crops up a lot - empty you cache, restart IE and then try... This should fix the problem.

This is the third time I've seen a message about this on the internet today, so yes, it happens a lot! ^_^

You kids might not like my site. I have a javascript routine (not mine) that prevents right click viewing of the source, right click taking images off the page. You right click on my pages and you get a nifty little copyright notice. The source can still be viewed using the View menu option.

Or by disabling Javascript.

Hey this works! I deleted Internet files and Explorer went away for about a minute before responding. Afterwards the "view source" worked again after being unusable for months. (I mainly use NS, so it was never a major problem.) Thanks.

P.S. Grandpa, you wouldn't believe how easy it is for someone who knows what they are doing to work around your image/source code protection. I can think of 3 ways off the top of my head to bypass it, and a 4th way to grab just images. I'd like to be able to lock up my source code and images too, but there just isn't any way.

I know of a couple of ways the images can be nabbed, but this was all done before I came along, and to be honest, it was done to prevent one brother from ripping off images from the other brother.

But the previous answer has me thinking a bit. If I have a customer who has disabled JavaScript, then most of the order processing on my newest pages won't even work. This can't be a new problem, just a new one for me.

I'm almost afraid to ask what the solution for this problem might be... something tells me its yet another language.

The only really portable solution is doing all the dynamic stuff on the server side. But most people run with Javascript turned on, or they'll know enough to turn it on when they really want to get to your shopping cart.
