How can I catch HTML coding stealers?
I wish I could see someone using one of my graphics. I have a page on neopets and I have a whole lot of graphics there. Is there a way I can track the users of them and also find people who take the codes and don’t leave credit?
If there is a way you find coding stealers, please tell me. Whether it has to be a downloadable application or nothing like that exists, please tell me! Thank you.
not really. When someone accesses your page the web server sends them the HTML, they can easily copy and paste the HTML. You could try added comments to the HTML that won’t be displayed on the webpage, then search for these comments on other peoples pages. But they could always just edit them out.
There is no automatic process that i’m aware of.

nope…html is completely open and copyable.
But if someone is hot linking your graphics or photos…you know instead of saving the image and uploading it to their server, they just pull the graphic from your server directly, like what photobucket does. You can use the .htaccess file to monitor that and tell you who does it. You can also switch out the graphic that is hot linked with any other graphic you want…that could actually be a fun

Put your files in a hidden directory and then reference them relatively? Would that accomplish what you are looking for?
Instead of <img src="www.mysite.com/images/myPic.jpg"> it would be
<img src="../images/myPic.jpg">
When they copy that second tag into their HTML, it will not work becuase their server is going to think that the image is on their server, when it is actually on some other box somewhere (which they could reference with the entire http://www... URL).
Hope this helps.
