Hi
How can I avoid, if someone who is looking my Web page on the internet, can
go into the View menu to see my source code? I would like to block that
possibility.
Can someone help me?
Thanks
Klaus
 
You can't.

Not possible, as the page is already downloaded to the users PC, so they just grab it from the
browser's cache folder or do a Save As, etc.

Klaus,

Keep in mind that HTML is not really source code. It's simply markup. If
you're talking about script, same applies unless it's server-side script.
There is a way to obfuscate client-side script, but it's easy to circumvent.

Hi All,
I found this program http://www.hypergurl.com/htmlProtector.html but maybe
the experts in here can tell you more about it. I have come across a site
or two, that when checking the source code, there is none. These sites can
be very annoying because when they are open, you lose your copy and paste
features and the only way to get it back is to close the page. Not that I
am copying from that site but when on my computer I have many applications
open. For myself, when looking at code, I am not trying to steal it, I just
want to see how something was done. If you are worry about theft, I must
say I know the feeling, as I have had some graphics taken from my site
without permission.

It's a complete and total rip-off and they should be ashamed for selling it.
They constantly talk about "encrypt your code" all over the advertising
materials and that is just a flagrant lie.

See this:

http://www.jimcoaddins.com/protect.htm

Their product doesn't encrypt anything. It encodes. The two are WAY
different. Encryption prevents people from getting access to the code.
Encoding does no such thing as you can easily see from my simple page I
wrote that decodes their "encrypted" pages.

65 million websites out there, not likely that anyone is going to have any
"code" really worth stealing. Those anti right click programs are stupid and
annoying. To copy the page, just click on EDIT, SELECT ALL, ctrl-C
 
Those stupid programs prey on new folks. My question is, what newcomer to
HTML is going to write any "code" worth stealing? The fact that they
advertise HTML as "code" gives you a clue to their intelligence also.

The experts have spoken. LOL:):):) Thanks for the info, great job!

Barb,
All that the program does is convert the source code to the
escape character, and when the page is rendered your
computer converts from the escape code back to straight
text.

EG- the letter A has an ASCII value of 64, and in
hexadecimal it is 40. So any time you see a %40 in the
code, your computer will see the letter A

As far a graphics go, once someone view them they are
already on the computer. The best bet is to degrade them to
the point that someone would not want them.

Hi Windsun
here is one of those newcomers you are talking about. I just realized that
since you are not even able to find the right words to express yourself in a
normal way, I am very much doubting who is this non-intelligent idiot over
here - the newcomers or you?
I believe this question only you can answer - if you are intelligent enough.
Many regards from the
NEWCOMERS

I've now added a new section to my Web site; Bogus Stuff. I'll use this to
highlight products like this that are utter rip-offs.

Hi Mike,
Thanks for the info. For myself, I am not interested in the program, I just
knew they were out there. As far as anyone taking my graphics, I would be
lying if I said I wasn't annoyed. On the other hand, I guess you could call
it a compliment. I have received a few e-mail asking permission to use my
tags or a graphic that was found on my site and I have always given
permission, as long as they do not take the credit for it. Hmm, if I were
to degrade my images they are not worth uploading but I do see your point.
:)
