Disabling save as...

Hi

Is there anyway avoiding users to save my web pages?
this idea came to my mind when I tried to save a web page, but in the
middle of saving progress something like the following error occurred:
"unable to save the page...".

on the other hand, once, I saved a web page successfully, but when I
opened it the characters were completely unreadable. unfortunately I
can't remember the url now but if you know any way to restrict users,
please let me know. (by the way, I'm not looking for javascripts to
disable right click or so).

Thanks in advance for your help...

It is not possible.
Even if it were possible in one browser, it won't be in the 100 other
possible browsers.

If you don't want users to save your pages, don't publish them.

True.

The browser has to be able to download the clear-text version of the
page, so anything that can "talk http" (such as 'telnet' to port 80)
can access that clear-text version (and any other files it points to).

1. How about opening your page using window.open from javascript
This option lets you control lots of properties of web-browser, may
be you can control "Save As" option too, never tried it though

2. Also remember to disable the right click option on the page
http://javascript.internet.com/page-...ght-click.html

3. Even if you disable both of the above, you will be unable to stop
user from doing PRNT+Screen :)

Hope that helps

Thanks

Not only is this a useless attempt to stop users from doing what they
want, it has serious accessibility issues and should never be used. You
will annoy your users and not stop them from saving the page.
>3. Even if you disable both of the above, you will be unable to stop

Even if you do the first two options, you still won't be able to stop
them saving the page. Both options are a waste of time, possibly worse.

Just accept the fact that you can't stop it. What do you have that is so
valuable that you don't want people saving it? If you're that bothered
about it, maybe you shouldn't be putting it on the web!!
>Hope that helps
Misinformation does not help, it merely deludes people into thinking
they have a solution for the problem that they have created. Far better
to accept the facts and realise that you have to think around the
problem another way.

I completely agree with this. In fact, if a user can see it, she can print
screen it and save it from paint - a 2 second process. If you need that much
security, your better off using a pdf with appropriate permissions settings.
And it's really annoying to disable expected windows functionality.

Hi guys, in the scenario where a user fills in a form, and clicks on a button to Save, there's a period of waiting (the slower the connection between client and server, the longer the delay) where the user may be oblivious and could say, press the button twice, or even fill in some more data on the form...
