Before I start this section let me tell you that there is no way to protect your pages for a 100%, but you certainly can take some precautions against spambots or copiers.

1. Protect your e-mail adress
   Sometimes there's no way of getting around displaying your e-mail adress in the html code. Spam bots will trace it and fill your inbox with unwanted mail, also known as spam (O_o). By scrambling your e-mail adress you will fool a lot of these bots. Please visit this page to scramble your e-mail.
   
   
2. Stop people from copying your text
   Maybe you've spend a lot of time in writing an article and don't want it to be spread on the internet. Place the next code in the head of your page, so your text can't be selected:
   <script language="JavaScript1.2" type="text/javascript"> <script type="text/javascript"> /*********************************************** * Disable select-text script- Dynamic Drive (www.dynamicdrive.com) * This notice MUST stay intact for legal use * Visit http://www.dynamicdrive.com/ for full source code ***********************************************/ //form tags to omit in NS6+: var omitformtags=["input", "textarea", "select"] omitformtags=omitformtags.join("|") function disableselect(e){ if (omitformtags.indexOf(e.target.tagName.toLowerCase())==-1) return false } function reEnable(){ return true } if (typeof document.onselectstart!="undefined") document.onselectstart=new Function ("return false") else{ document.onmousedown=disableselect document.onmouseup=reEnable } </script>
   
   
3. No right clicking with a warning
   Place the next code in the head of your html code if you want a warning to pop-up when people right click. Change the message in whatever you want it to be, but don't be rude, that will only offend your visitors.
   <script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript"> <!-- /* No rightclick script v.2.5 (c) 1998 barts1000 barts1000@aol.com Don't delete this header! */ var message="Sorry, that function is disabled. Please don't use my work, thank you."; // Don't edit below! function click(e) { if (document.all) { if (event.button == 2) { alert(message); return false; } } if (document.layers) { if (e.which == 3) { alert(message); return false; } } } if (document.layers) { document.captureEvents(Event.MOUSEDOWN); } document.onmousedown=click; // --> </script>
   
   
4. No right clicking without a warning
   This code goes in the body of your page:
   <script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript"> <!-- var message=""; /////////////////////////////////// function clickIE() {if (document.all) {(message);return false;}} function clickNS(e) {if (document.layers||(document.getElementById&&!document.all)) { if (e.which==2||e.which==3) {(message);return false;}}} if (document.layers) {document.captureEvents(Event.MOUSEDOWN);document.onmousedown=clickNS;} else{document.onmouseup=clickNS;document.oncontextmenu=clickIE;} document.oncontextmenu=new Function("return false") // --> </script>
   
   
5. Get rid of the XP Image Toolbar
   Visitors will still be able to save your images through the XP Image Toolbar, you can disable it by placing the next text in the header of your page:
   <META HTTP-EQUIV="imagetoolbar" CONTENT="no">
   
   
6. You can also protect your images through a htaccess file, but that's a whole other tutorial.
