wtf guys! are you discussion to protect css! how stupid it is to save our css from others! css isnt a big deal.
ok well, if discussion is going so let me suggest something. you may disable right click on the page using javascript so an ordinary user wont be able to see your html/css source.

even if you disable right click...
still very very simple to get css properties...
------------------------------------------
as said many times... it is a total waste of time
securing css files/s...
if someone copy your style,
means you did solid one,
or at least someone is trying to learn some basics...
either way.. really nothing to worry about

interesting, but i dont see how that would be any better than the normal way. the css file is downloaded after the html page on a sperate stream, essentially the browser goes to the link specified in the style tag and saves the text output. The browser does nothing differently to what the user would do if they did it manually. But i could be wrong, cant see how though

i used rewrite in htaccess and a code on my index page and style page but its not safe on mozilla linux

any 'live' example for this?
i'd like to check how good protection that is

nope since i dont have a reason to bother with this. however the basic premise is

1. all on one line
2. use stupid css names (instead of #inputUsername use #h2A8s)
3. no comments at all

the idea is to make it as hard as possible for someone to use the stylesheet without heavily modifying it and days of figuring out what each css name belongs too. Ofcourse the all in one line thing can be solved by chucking the line into a beautifyer engine, but its just a simple thing to do , its actually recommended for performance tweaks and if its a n00b stealing the css he may not have even heard of a beautifyer. If you put all the CSS into one sheet and use names that are hard to differentiate on scanning, you will literally force the user to go through the css file bit by bit, and on finding each css name/id he will have to view the source of every page on your site until he finds what that name belongs to (if you mix up the css so you have gallery only css thrown all over it will be even harder).

I think thats the best way to describe it anyway. i could post a bit of example html/code but you wouldnt realise its effectiveness on such a small example. Deployed on a full site though its usually enough to make people think bugger it (unless they create their own css using the design on your site, but thats not a copy and paste of your css and theres nothing you can do about that unless you dig their eyeballs out)

i just relised it isnt so secure lol i just viewd my source

[ozziemale31]

i dont have a signup page for my new script im writing atm lol

...the only protection im aware of is obfuscation (which can work quite well if you do it properly)...

it still can be stolen but u need to know what your doing to get it lol but if stops noobs in their tracks

im interested to see this protection.. or have you disabled it. As far as im aware there no decent protection for css, the only protection im aware of is obfuscation (which can work quite well if you do it properly). On your signup page the style.css is easily viewable just like any other site, so only thing i can think you may have done is to split up the css so only the css for the viewable page i served meaning users would have to browse to each page and grab the css for each page and compile it into their own single css stylesheet ???

nobody can steal my new style css for mobilezonez lol care to try ?????
Mobilezonez
I figured out how to protect css lol go me roflmao

if i can post your css style you tell me what kind a protection have you used.. ok ?

[arnage]

So Riderz did it again. Just, when i cout him last time, he deleted the posts. Its a big deal and nobody should steal others idea. And u get angry when someone take your php scripts and change the author name? Click thanks, respect authors and copyrigths and take others css style? No logic... When u dont respect others, others will not resprct u.

[pmbguy]

i never claimed to be great... i just hate it that i scratch my head for ages thinking of stuff that hasn't been overused only to have my ideas copied... in my mind ideas are intellectual property...
