Hiding Page Source
I am not exactly sure where I saw this, but recently I visited a site that was able to hide the source of their pages. Do you have any idea of how they did that?

Some people use a simple trick of making a lot of blank space before any code is written, so it looks like there is nothing there (until you scroll down a bit) but from what I know, you cannot hide your source code.

This question has been asked here many times before. There doesnt seem to be a fool proof way to hide your source. You can get a no right-click script from www.dynamicdrive.com but you can always get the source from the menu.
Can you remember the URL of the page you visited? If they did hide the source I would like to see how they did it.

It might have been Lycos. I'm not 100% sure.

There is absolutely no way at all to hide HTML source code. Its processed on the client-side and therefore has to be downloaded into your computer.

As Fluffer says ... it can't be done.
If it could, half (or more) of us would have much worse web sites because we could never have learned how something was done, and then produced something of our own from what we had learned.
Of course, if you view the source of a page created by some WYSIWYG editors, you'll wish that it had been protected from viewing

.... and even if you get one of those 'no right clicks' scripts, there always the View/Source button on your browser tool bar, plus the stuff is in your cache/temp intenet files folder.

No, I don't think it can be done either. But I heard once that you can encrypt your html script? I read that once, and there was a program that did it...

The encrypter used capital and lowercase letters interchangeably, strung the code together, that sort of thing. It didn't actually encrypt it in any meaningful way (because then the browsers wouldn't be able to read it...)
Converting all the text to all lowercase or all uppercase and using the enter button made quick work of the changes.
Of course it made it more confusing for the newbie.
