Send Page as Email Question

[Guest]

I have the task to ensure users don't duplicate content from my company's
site. There is already code in place that disables the copying and pasting of
content from the site. However, users who really want to retrieve content
from the site can do so by clicking the 'Send Page' email option from IE.
I need to know there is a way for me to disable this feature, or place some
code in the page that solves my problem. Please let me know if there are any
other alternatives. If you know or have some code that will do the trick,
that would be great since I am not such a code expert.

Hi hecsan07:

It's not worth the effort. If the content is available for browsing -
someone can duplicate it. Even if you somehow disable every browser
feature that you think of - there are still easy alternatives left for
someone who wants a copy. If your company really wants to protect
their work, they need to look for legal solutions - like copyright
law.

First of all, thanks for replying. I completely understand what you mean. I
personally find it nearly impossible to protect online information even with
copyrights. What if the user copies the information, reads it and destroys
it? Nothing can really be done in that case. However, my boss is asking me to
do this, so I have to do it. Can you please help me figure out what to do.
Something I did was to wire the onLoad event of the HTML page to some
redirect code. Basically it checks the source of the page. If it's not the
URL to our site, the user is redirected to our site. However this approach
only works from the web browser. When I send the page to myself, the code
does not run from the email client, say Outlook. What can I do then?

I don't know - I think you are facing an impossible task.

I would never want Outlook to execute JavaScript on any email
messages I get. 50% of them are phishing or trying to sell viagra. All
you are left with is plain HTML which displays anywhere.
