Removing the image rollover toolbar on IE6

When you hover over an image on IE6, you'll eventually see a toolbar with 4 buttons: Save this image, Print this image, Send this image in an e-mail, Open My Pictures folder.

Several ways to do it, as described here:
  • Set the galleryimg attribute to "no" on the img tag:
    <img src="blah.jpg" galleryimg="no" />

  • Site wide:
    <!--[if IE 6]>
    <meta http-equiv="imagetoolbar" content="no" />
    <![endif]-->

  • Disable it in the client IE6 browser:
    Internet options > Advanced > Enable Image Toolbar (under Multimedia)


The image toolbar was removed from IE7.
