IExplorer Image Icons off Philipp Lenssen 10-21-2004

I know, this won't be any standard HTML -- I'm looking for a way to
disable the image icons bar introduced in IExplorer6 (something like
autocomplete="off", but for images). Or, even the correct name of this
thing would help me (my browser's in German). Thanks.

Researching it was easier than I thought. Here's how:

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

See

The <meta> is valid but ugly (http-equiv when it isn't the equivelent of
an HTTP header) whilst the <img galleryimg> attribute is invalid but
offers control on a case-by-case basis.

Or, do nothing. IE6 users are used to the toolbar popping up and may even
want it to popup. Don't deprive them of a part of their normal browser
interface.

Since you are concerned about standards, you will be pleased to learn
that the generic way is ISO/IEC 15445:2000 compatible. :)

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

Only targeting specific elements requires the proprietary
attribute/value pair

galleryimg="no"
