The image toolbar in IE6 is a tool that allows the user to save a picture, print a picture, email a picture, or open the “My Pictures” folder. This toolbar was meant to be a useful tool but it can often be an annoyance for the web designer. Here are a couple ways to disable this toolbar.

The first way is to add this line of code in the head section of your page: <meta http-equiv=”imagetoolbar” content=”no”>

The second way is specific to each img element. You can add the galleryimg attribute to any img element: <img src=”mypicture.gif” galleryimg=”no” />
