To BeginActive Tek Solutions provide 'client-side' solutions for website needs. You don't need a specific kind of web server; you don't need any special access to the server at all. If you can edit the html pages, you can use Active Tek
This documentation describes the use of Active Tek for FrontPage sites. Although FrontPage is not required for their operation, using them in conjunction with FrontPage can make further administration of the website easier down the road.
* NOTE: Active Tek is not going to protect your website from the truly determined. There are ways around virtually any method that tries to stop surfers from downloading. But - if your site presents a larger effort to steal from , they just might move on to the next site.
The following describes how to use the complete set of Active Tek Products.
To BeginWe will take advantage of the FrontPage abilities such as Included Pages and Style Pages to help maintain the Active Tek products. We are committed to providing enhancements to our existing products and to introduce new solutions. As enhancements to our products are developed we will ensure that you can upgrade to them with a minimal of effort.
All of the primary Include Pages will reside in the '_private' directory in FrontPage. This provides an extra level of security and an extra level of redirection to the casual surfer.
NOTE: If your webserver does not block 'Index Reading' of directories we recommend that you do this too.
All Active Tek use JavaScript '*.js' files. The code is hidden away from your surfers in another level of indirection, making it harder for someone to 'break in'.
Active Stop(Active Stop is currently under development and is not shipping as yet.)
Active Stop helps to stop surfers from being able to download parts of your website by inhibiting the Right Mouse Click function (used to download pictures and view raw html). Active Tek makes sure that this protection is there for BOTH Internet Explorer and Netscape. Active Tek also makes sure that the following parts of your page are protected,
on the Page (IE & Netscape same)
Code placed right after <body> tag
Calls active-tek/active_stop_top.js (function right())
Code placed right before </body> tag
Calls active-tek/active_stop_bottom.js (Netscape specific mouse button code).
Active PopActive Pop allows you to display the large versions of your thumbnails; maintaining the Active Stop technology and providing extra protection. Active Pop also hides the Tool Bar and Command Line Bar making it harder for Surfers to 'look inside'
The Code is inserted as follows
Calls active-tek/active_stop_pop.js (function poppix(), which writes version of stop_top.js and stop_bottom.js)
Not dependent on other products.
Active ImageCalls active-tek/active_image.js (Function displayimage(), defines imagearray and autoimage())
Needs Active Pop. Used in code:
Code above.
Active BlockActive Block is an aggressive set of tools that requires users to have client side scripting (JavaScript) or they cannot even see the site. Most users (except those behind company firewalls) can use JavaScript, this is the default. Some people turn off the client side scripting to 'go around' your protection schemes; this set of tools stops them cold.
