Getting rid of that silly “image” bar in IE6

Got this hint to add to your webpages from weekly newsletter from www.sitepoint.com

This week’s tip comes to us courtesy of Richard Hayes, of http://www.tm3design.co.uk .

The latest version of Internet Explorer has an image toolbar that appears whenever the mouse is hovered over an image for more than a few seconds. The toolbar presents options for saving, emailing, and printing pictures.

To stop IE’s annoying image toolbar appearing over your images, place the following code between the head & /head tags on your page:

[meta http-equiv=”imagetoolbar” content=”no”] (use GT and LT symbols, not brackets of course)

The above code will disable the image toolbar for every single image on that page. And if you want to disable the image toolbar only for specific images, use the galleryimg attribute for the IMG tag. For example:

[img src=”myPic.gif” galleryimg=”no”]
