How to Remove the Image Toolbar in IE 6

Sat, 02/23/2008 - 18:50 — SiteGuy

This image toolbar appears in IE 6 whenever you hover over an image for a couple of seconds. It lets you save, print, resize and send the image to a friend. Although you cant prevent someone from doing what they please with your images you can keep your interface/design looking as slick as possible by disabling the image toolbar. You can disable the image toolbar globally or disable it for specific images. The code is below:

Disable the image toolbar for specific images:

<IMG SRC="image.jp GALLERYIMG="NO">

Disable the image toolbar globally by placing this code within the tags:

<META HTTP-EQUIV="imagetoolbar" CONTENT="no">

If you use a template, this will work for all the images on your website, otherwise it will just work for the images on the page.

This attribute only effects Internet Explorer 6+. Since other browsers don't understand the attribute, they simply ignore it.
