    Interested in Art?

    Hi,

    I put this site together for a small Fine Art Gallery. Originally it was only going to be a 2 or 3 page site - seems he liked it so much he just keeps adding to it!

    With this site I have tried to protect the artists images as best I can from internet "thieves", but without lowering the quality of the images. I know that print screen will still work, but at least it prints out a Copyright message too, and I assume that screen capture will still allow people to copy images. Hopefully I have managed to deter the "casual" image copiers by disabling the right-mouse click and mouse hover facility!!

    Hope you enjoy the pictures. www.harrisonlord.com

    Regards,
    Dave Shore

    Hi Dave,

    Very nice site - it has that professional look, which I think is often difficult to portray, but imperative for a business site.

    If you don't mind me asking, how do you block the image copying? The reason I ask is, I have just created my own fine art site and would like to deter thieves.

    I'm not too far from this gallery - maybe I should take some of my work along!!

      Hi nstacey,

      Thanks for the comments.

      To do the copy prevention you need to place this code into the page HTML, Between Head Tag section:

      <META HTTP-EQUIV="imagetoolbar" CONTENT="no">
      <SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript1.1">
      function right(e) {
      if (navigator.appName == 'Netscape' &&
      (e.which == 3 || e.which == 2))
      return false;
      else if (navigator.appName == 'Microsoft Internet Explorer' &&
      (event.button == 2 || event.button == 3)) {
      alert("This site is Copyright to W.B.H. Lord & Sons Ltd.");
      return false;
      }
      return true;
      }
      document.onmousedown=right;
      document.onmouseup=right;
      if (document.layers) window.captureEvents(Event.MOUSEDOWN);
      if (document.layers) window.captureEvents(Event.MOUSEUP);
      window.onmousedown=right;
      window.onmouseup=right;
      // End -->

      Just change the red text to your own message.

      If you want to contact this Fine Art Gallery you need to ask for Gordon Taylor (he is my wife's uncle!!) as he runs the gallery. You never know, we might be able to cross link sites!

      Where are you from? I'm originally from Halifax.

      Regards,
      Dave

        Thanks for that Dave. I really appreciate it.

        I am originally from Sheffield, but currently live just North of York.

        I think I just might contact the gallery.

        Thanks again for your help.

          Hi Dave. You've made a lovely website. It's stunning. A very simple design which highlights the work of the shop and the artists. Nice use of colour. I don't kinow if this is the difference in our screens again - but notice on both prints pages that the text in the long frame overshot the frame by a couple of lines. Apart from that - wonderful. Very, very well done. Congratulations. I should imagine Mr Lord is well chuffed.

            Thanks to "Girlonthehill" for your comments - I'm now blushing!!

            I'm concerned though by your comment of the text overshooting the frame. Please can you tell me which page (copy/paste the web addresses) and tell me which browser, operating system and monitor size you are using. Your help would be much appreciated (as indeed are your comments)!!

            Regards,
            Dave

              Message to nstacey:

              I notice that your site uses the mouse hover to change some of the images. You may find that the first line of code that I gave you disables this ability!!!

              Regards,
              Dave

                Hiya Dave,

                Ok I've done some investigating and have found that the aforementioned problems only occur on my browser (Netscape 8.1) when I have it set to 'based on Firefox'. When I view 'based on Internet Explorer' it looks perfect. Problem sussed and solved. So that makes your site perfect then? Lol. ;o) Well done indeed.
