How to Prevent Seeing Source Code?

Is there a special script or something?

[webgaya]

How can I prevent people seeing the source
code of a particular web page. I have seen that
some web sites have done this and some products
are also available.

Isn't there a much easier way to
implement this than buying such a product?

I don't believe there is any 100% way of doing this.

The bigger question is why? Are you willing to keep from being indexed?

There is a big downside to doing this.

It would need to also prevent people from downloading the page as HTML, as well as stopping several versions of 'view source' - it might stop a casual visitor, but I cannot envisage a systemt that prevents 'view source' while still allowing 'view page'.

I'd guess that the software does little more than disable menus. Which would slow down a determined viewer by approximately 0.4 seconds!

Hi!

Thanks for comments!

I just wanted to protect a web page
that includes a confidential script
on it. I don't want others to download it.
It doesn't matter if SEs doesn't index it.

Is there still a way?

JavaScript? No. If it's executing on your page, it's accessible somehow.

Perl/PHP? Yes. Those scripts are hidden from visitors by default already.

Translate it into Chinese, but don't use the auto-translators. Find a genuine human translator.

Don't worry about scrapers from Asia, the code won't validate or execute properly. -LH
