@MarPloJul 24.2012 — Hi,

From what I know, reading the source code of the page is a functionality of the browser. A code in the page cannot block this functionality.

If you have to ask this question, then you may rest assured that there is

[b]absolutely[/b] no code in your website that anyone will want to use. :rolleyes:

You are just experiencing a mild attack of paranoia.

Certain mind bending drugs may produce this state as a side effect.

You read correctly even if you cannot capitalize or punctuate. :rolleyes:

@captainscallJul 24.2012 — Not that I know of -- but I do know that server-side code doesn't get rendered in the browser source code...directly

like PHP, ASP and the others.

e.g.

[CODE]<?php //you will never see me in 'view source'!!! ?>[/CODE]

but with
[CODE]<?php print "<p>hello</p>"; ?>[/CODE]

this will indeed be in the source:
[CODE]<p>hello</p>[/CODE]

@rnd_meJul 24.2012 — just make the code ugly (obfuscated+minimized), and it won't get stolen. to prevent someone from simply pasting the garbled mess, you can hide something in the code that checks to make sure what site the script is running from.

while technically you cannot hide client code, you practically can in the world of dumb and lazy coders who want quick cut-and-paste solutions.

Success!
