Norman Posted March 20, 2009 Share Posted March 20, 2009 I've seen a lot new sites using this image, blank.gif. For example, if I right-click on the logo and I select "View image" I get redirected to the blank.gif image. Then, my question is: how is gone to be used this blank.gif with CSS? What does it do?

Ingolme Posted March 20, 2009 Share Posted March 20, 2009 People probably put it to protect their images, but anybody smart can get around that.How to do it? Make a <div> with the exact width and height of the image and use the image as a background image. Inside the <div> you put Blank.gif (a 1x1 pixel transparent GIF file) with a width and height of 100%.I personally see no puspose in it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Norman Posted March 21, 2009 Author Share Posted March 21, 2009 Then, there is no more *function* other than this for the blank.gif image? It is just supposed to be a not fullproof protection? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ingolme Posted March 21, 2009 Share Posted March 21, 2009 That's basically it. I personally don't recommend the technique. If you want your images safe, watermark them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shade Posted March 21, 2009 Share Posted March 21, 2009 Yep, watermarking is a good option. or you can show them using flash.because when your image loads into some one's browser there's no way to protect it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's a "Print Screen" button for that.I know that if there's anything I see on the internet, I can save it on my computer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Norman Posted March 21, 2009 Author Share Posted March 21, 2009 Even using Photoshop. :)Anyway, thanks for your replies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pizzaguy Posted March 25, 2009 Share Posted March 25, 2009 even though there is the print screen option, if you use a program like DeepZoom as a gallery, the program splits all pictures into small portions (sometimes with multiple pictures in the same file) so any file found would be irregular and not a full picture.
