Hiding HTML -
For HTML:
HTML cannot be hidden from the browser. The browser needs that information to display the page. I have heard of "no right click" or "no view source" scripts, but I have never actually seen one- and certainly not a working one.
JavaScripts:
You can protect a javascript to some degree if you use an external .js file for your scripts. You can see more on how to do this at:
www.pageresource.com/jscript/jxtern.htm
CGI:
CGI scripts should be protected as long as they are in the proper cgi-bin directory for your server. This way, the file permisions don't allow snoopers into the script area.
Perhaps someone can prove me wrong on the HTML part? If such a thing reallyexists, it would be interesting to see it.

I am currently trying to boost security
for a website that I've just designed and
wanted to stop users looking at the HTML &
Scripts. Does anyone know if this is possible?
I would appreciate any assistance given.
Regards
Steve

Nifty scripts
The source can still be viewed by using the View->Source menu option at the top though.
It does eliminate one possibility though, and might keep out a few unwanted eyes.

Thanks for your replies - however it must be
me but I can still view the source using the
right click on the mouse. I've tried putting it in several places: at the very top before <html>/after <head>/in the body etc but it still doesn't seem to want to work.
It is probably something that i'm doing wrong - should there be a space between the

I tried both tags in the <head> area and neither one worked for me! I could still view the source with right clicking and the toolbar...

Same here - sorry can't seem to get it
to work for me either. I've taken out the spaces as suggested and have put it in the
<head> part with no success.
Any Ideas? Thanks for your help!

I can't see the point in this script as you can easily go to view/source to grab the code anyway...

I believe that script only works on Internet Explorer 5.0! Hopefully this helps.

I agree with JP Stones - these types of scripts are absolutely pointless unless only newbies visit your website and then still...it's so simple to press View - Source

If you have a real paranoia do th following.
Make a JavaScript file that does nothing else but document.write your whole page.
Its not pretty, Its not fast, but it should work

Malte,
Will this really slow the download time?

Depending what you want to do, you can load the javascript into a frame of size zero and document.write to the other frames.

You can actually Encode the page using Javascript but I wouldn't recommend it. For those that would like to see this in action, go here and go to the sample page. You can decypher the page with a bit of time but it certainly keeps most away from the source.

Have fun... but don't forget, if you want the page to get indexed by search engines, what effect would this have?
