    problems loading images...

    I feel like a complete fool! I should know the answer to the Q:

    How do I load an image with JS and replace the default image?

    Some background: My final objective is to have a web site where it
    is VERY difficult to copy images off the site. The first thing I
    was going to do was force folks to turn on JavaScript so that I
    could disable the right click pop up menu. To force this, I thought
    I would have all the default images say that JavaScript is required
    to view the images. The problem is that I cannot figure out for the
    world in me how to load the good image. The page can be found here:

    here are the code snips:
    ------------------------------------------------
    [snip]
    <body bgcolor="#FFFFF F">
    <script language="JavaS cript1.1">
    <!--
    TheImage = new Image();
    TheImage.src = "images/RunningTheLine. jpg";
    HomepageImage = document.images['hpImage'];
    HomepageImage.s rc = TheImage.src;
    //-->
    </script>

    [snip]

    <img name="hpImage" src="images/njs-228x280.jpg" width="274"
    height="336" border="0">
    ------------------------------------------------

      You can't disable the right click menu reliably. Certainly
      not in all browsers. If your page contains the URL of the
      actual images, I can view the source and copy the URL into
      the browser's location field. If I didn't feel like doing
      that, I could simply do a screen capture, or copy the images
      out of my cache.

          What you have should work *if* it is executed after the *image* tag has
          been parsed.

          <img id="hpImage" src="images/njs-228x280.jpg"
          style="width:27 4px,height:336p x,border:none">
          <script type="text/javascript">
          var HomepageImage = document.images['hpImage'];
          HomepageImage.s rc = "images/RunningTheLine. jpg";;
          </script>

          There is no need for "TheImage"

          Give up. There is about a million ways to get it.

          Doesn't work in my browser. Doesn't prevent me from turning JS off
          after the page has loaded. Doesn't stop me from using "Save with
          imags". Doesn't stop me from finding the URL in the JS and loading
          the image directly. Doesn't stop me from using a TCP snooper with
          connection streaming to save the image.

          So your page only works with Javascript available, only because you
          want to protect your images (which doesn't work). Since not all
          browsers *can* turn Javascript on, some people can't use your page.

          Your page would be better and more user friendly if you spend your
          energy on making it more accessible, not less.

          Oh yes, and validate your code. You'll probably be surpriced.
