One-time view web page?

Hi,

Have any of you come across a situation that you'd like a prospect to
see your high level 'design idea' over the web and not let him/her/
them to download them? I know some gimmick that can prevent novice
users from saving an image file but it's just gimmick not good
enough.

TIA.

And on second thought, it would have to prevent screen capture/screen
print function as well.

No, why should I?
Without a download they won't be able to see anything at all.

You can't prevent anything.

You can secure access to a page through SSL and HTTPS, but anyone with
access downloads the page. If they can't download it, they can't see
it. A browser cannot display something that is only on a Web server.
That's because the file (including any graphics) must be local to the
Web browser.

Further, if you don't use SSL and HTTPS, the Web is a public forum.
Anyone with some technical knowledge of the Internet can get access to
any unsecured Web page, even bypassing supposedly mandatory logins.

I suggest you visit the prospect and make a face-to-face presentation,
ensuring that you take all copies of your presentation materials away
with you when you leave. While electronic communications are nice,
selling a concept often works better with an in-person contact.

The situation with E-mail also applies here. And apparently E-mail
existed a long, long time ago.

The moving finger writes; and, having writ,
Moves on: nor all your Piety or Wit
Shall lure it back to cancel half a Line,
Nor all your Tears wash out a Word of it.
Omar, the Tentmaker (died ca 1123 ce)

And even longer ago.

Once a word has been allowed to escape, it cannot be recalled.

Thank you all for your thoughts/inputs. On the technical feasiblity
end, I knew half-baked at best... I'll explore other venues...
