Programming Newb

I've dabbled very lightly in java and java script. I don't suppose anyone here knows how to block input from certian keys on the keyboard? I'm trying to copy protect an image, and so far all I have left to do prevent screenshots from being taken. Any help will be great, thanks.

You can never succeed in making something like that. There are just too many ways taht someone can take a screenshot, even besides pressing Print-Screen.

Well instead of stating the truth of making one w/javascript (I've seen ones advertisted that are things you must buy, yet I imaginet hey are not written in JS) is not possible, why not help the guy somewhat?

There's a little thing for disabling right click, I do not know how to add other keys, maybe someone here might be able to.

As for a $$$ solution, you might want to look at http://www.artistscope.com/ it was the first thing that came up when i googled copy protect images...

Yeah. I checked out that site the other day, and I'm a bit skeptical... Basically, this is the story:

One of my peers is building a website for his business, and he wants to put the new certification standard on his website. Problem is, the standard costs money to buy, and he doesn't want to be in violation of any copyright laws. Honestly, I'm pretty close to telling him that its not really possible to do what he wants... Basically he wants it to be on his website, but doesn't want other people from printing it up for themselves. If there's an alternative way to achieve this, I'm all ears...

This topic was discussed at length in this thread:

I suggest you read it, but to quickly summarize: There is no way to prevent the copying of content entirely, as someone determined and knowledgable enough will be able to circumvent whatever protections you have in place. You can, however, deter the majority of the web browsing public.

I remember seeing, a while ago, some site that used a java applet that rapidly displayed sections of the images on their site. They displayed too fast to notice on a screen, but when a screen capture is taken it only captures random sections of the image, effectively thwarting almost every person who visits the page. Even skilled people with delayed screenshot programs and such would be discouraged because they would have to take several dozen screenshots and splice them all together correctly. A ton of work.

I don't suppose anyone else has heard anything about this kind of applet?
