   Protected Pictures in a website?

   I have a web portal that is only accessible after log-in (sort of like the Facebook pages that have opted out of discovery).

   When I print articles (e.g. as pdf), the lead (preview) picture gets removed from the printout. Very anoying.

   I can't even access the picture's URL (mouse-over etc. won't work).

   The website is programmed with CSS and from what I'm seeing in the source code, the pics are js (probably Java Script).

   Any ideas?

     Hi Dave, thank you for your help!

     The developer tool has the issue that it is "drill down", i.e. there are layers underneath.

     I found the part with the js where the website (which I anonymized WITH ALL CAPS is given, but just isolating that part doesn't do the trick.

     Here is that part, hope it tells you something more than me. ;)

     (The 1st pic is the screenshot from the developer area, the second one the "drill down" of the marked part.

     @HistoPol @Mina don’t the developer tools show you the real url to the image?
     Another possibility is that they are base64 encoded data; in that case screenshotting is your easiest option

     Yep, true.
     However, after some encouragement, I went through the complete source code and found the images eventually under MAIN_IMG LOL.

     Thanks. Case closed. 😀

     @HistoPol
     That looks like a tracking pixel, the contents of that HTML wouldn't be visible.
