Is there a way to hide the source

[Web Master]

Is there anyway to hide the source code of a Website. Because anyone can copy a site by viewing the source. I DON'T NEED THE JAVA SCRIPT THAT DISABLES RIGHT CLICK. If there is anyway way please inform me. Thanks Jason.

2 ways

The most secure way is to write the site completely in Flash.

The easiest way is to use frames and use a no right click script in each frame. If a user uses the view source from the toolbar al they will get is the frameset code. They can still view the source if they save the pages to their hard disk.

well i will have to say that if u use the no right click they can still look at the site by downloading it and in a html editor

So there is no way to secure the code. I definetly can't do the Flash option, and frames can be downloaded.

What was the last line of my last post????

I stated that the pages could be DOWNLOADED and viewed!!!!! Why post telling me that???

l've seen this question before, and l've always wondered: WHY do you want to hide your code? l mean, its only HTML/Javascript, so anyone can just look at it and figure it out what is happening...whats wrong with people seeing your site.


And, in answer, there is no way to hide the code of a rendered language. lt must be downloaded to be viewed, and it is downloaded in plain text. One thing you can do, is obfuscate a bit:

a) all your code on one line.
b) instead of normal words and tags, use HEX equivalents
c) Make the site huge, and leave out comments and readability inside the code.

etc..

lol breaking windows i like the idea of hex i might try that some time

[Melmac]

LMAO
All your code on one line. I love it!!!

Besides, I think we have all learned from studying code written by others. We are all one big family. So, may I ask why you want to hide it? Maybe if the concern is exposed a better solution can be provided.

The "no right click script" can be defeated, so don't rely on that to hide your secrets.

McGyver we know that already and I did point it out in my post.

hmm... seems there's no way to hide your code. why do you need to hide it, while there are plenty of site that offers free source codes ?

I agree!!!

If you can get someone to write a small flash program for you, you can

1) Disable Right Click
2) Make the "File, Edit, View..." toolbar disappear

That should be enough to stop any amature fool...

This can still be defeated by turning off Flash in your browser, so it wouldn't do the above and you can then just pull out the HTML source.

You can also download the flash and pull that apart with a decompiler, so this wouldn't stop anyone determined to look at your code.

Put simply, you'll spend more time trying to hide your code than it will take for someone to either figure out what you're doing or defeat the way you're hiding your code.

Get over it and don't waste your time!

breakingwindows have u tried running a site made in hex???

i got a convter that allows me to right it in there in normal text then it spits out hex to me but if u try to put it in a site it will only show up as the hex code with no spaces(or at least thats the way he wrote it) so it means inside u would have to have a decoder or tell it somplace that it needs to be text and not hex
