Just got a solicitation from the folks at WPG about some "code defender" application. Anybody used it or familiar with it?

Is it just something to scramble the code on a website?

If I remember correctly, it just compresses the code by removing all whitespace, and then adds a bunch of whitespace at the top of the page. If you view source, you'll have to scroll quite far down the page to find the code. When you get to it, it is hard to read because there is no formating.

It's probably a decent approach for someone who is just casually looking at your source code, but anyone who wants to really check it out just needs to paste it into any WYSIWYG editor and click on auto format.

I'ts also very easy to do manually skibum, if you want that effect.

Thanks-you both, kinda what I thought it might be, but had never heard of it before.
