code. Script. Or whatever it is needed.
On a site there is a gif picture. You right click and save, except it isn't there. Seems there is a mask over it. So, I went to properties and got the address where that named gif was to be. Not there. What is the script for this "mask" ? I do not know the actual term. Thanks.

Why are you trying to pinch someone elses pictures?

I do not want to steal the pic, I merely want to know the "trick". A friend pointed it out to me. I was impressed. Geez.

Probably you mean a div on top of (another div with) a picture.

Ok. So how is this div done. Can you maybe refer me to a website telling how to do it? Thanks.

<div style="z-index:1; position:absolute; left:1px; top:1px"><img src="TheNotClickableGif.gif" width="200" height="200"><div>
<div style="z-index:2; position:absolute; left:1px; top:1px; width:200px; height:200px;"><img src="TransparentGif.gif" width="200" height="200"><div>
This is a way how it could be done I guess (didn't test it).
Does it solve your problem?

Jack, that's a good idea, but I think It'd be much easier to do this:
And in the stylesheet:
#somename {
background-image: url(realimage.jpg);
}

It's still easy to get the image though, I doubt it's a "trick" to stop people downloading the image, more like CSS for a background image.

If an image is on the web, it's easy for someone to get it. Unless you're going to password protect everything, and track the users and follow them around making sure they don't use the image anywhere (a Herculean task for even a handful of users), you have to accept that if it's online, people can take it.

Thank you for all your help. I will try what you have given me.
As far as someone still being able to get image. I did manage to get to the image that had me stumped. I got to it only because I had some knowledge, but not everyone knows how it all works. Webmasters do but many people that just surf don't (a lot of people that frequent porn might know though). I knew of the code that stops right clicking to save and how to get around it, but I had not run into this layering before.
Thanks again for your help. I will let you know how it goes.

I used the code Jack gave and it worked. Thanks!
