Turning Off the IE Image Toolbar

Internet Explorer: Customize the Image Toolbar: You know that little toolbar that appears in Internet Explorer when you hover over an image — it lets you save the image or email it or whatever. Did you know you can turn this off in HTML?


<meta http-equiv="imagetoolbar" content="no">
<meta http-equiv="imagetoolbar" content="false">

Or you can do it for individual images:


<img border="0" src="filename" galleryimg="no">
<img border="0" src="filename" galleryimg="false">

Thanks be to Matt for this. Matt also gets props for the best Web page footer I’ve ever seen.

Matt and I posted follow ups to this which you might be interested in since you have this in a Usability section:

I agree with the gist of what people are posting -- don't do what is suggested here. Love the image toolbar or hate it, what right to you have to turn it off? It's not your browser.

Deane, please, to get rid of that dorky toolbar, thank goodness, that thing is obnoxious. Besides, there are far worse things web masters do than get rid of a stupid tool bar... The evil Javascript abuse to stop right-clicking, that should be fought. This is nothing compared to that.
