btw the tricks you just used to disable the "stealing" of images only work for IE. those tricks still work in all the other browsers i just used: opera, netscape & a few IE based. so all you are doing is just disabling IE users. to completely disable the "stealing" of artwork.. you have to remove the caching ability of the images or use a JAVA based program that will display the images but NOT cache them. even allowing users to upload to a server folder named no_cache, under their username, will help a little more.
