Topic How to hide the source?

I want to disable the rightclick i.e., view>source option in my web page. One of my friend says that this can be done with the help of java script. Suggestions in this regard would be appreciated.

I don't really know the steps of how to do this but there are ways to encrypt you source code so people can't see it. I've seen some websites that all the show is a short javascript on their source code and this way people can't see the actual code.

<SCRIPT language=JavaScript>
<!-- http://www.spacegun.co.uk -->
var message = "function disabled";
function rtclickcheck(keyp){ if (navigator.appName == "Netscape" && keyp.which == 3){ alert(message); return false; }
if (navigator.appVersion.indexOf("MSIE") != -1 && event.button == 2) { alert(message); return false; } }
document.onmousedown = rtclickcheck;
</SCRIPT>

Sorry i found this on a site, when i right clicked it said function disabled here is the site if you want to have a look. http://www.angelfire.com/fl5/html-tutorial/rclick.htm

i don't think thats useful for some browser like firefox as you can just use "view source" option and take all those source manually. firefox had done a lot of take and grab job for us.

I thought the "view source" options on most browsers overcame the just about any scripts blocking right clicks.

Occasional surfers won't try to get around a right click block, though, so there are circumstances where that will be enough to protect a site's content.

I don't think people can actually stop other from viewing the source. But yes one can stop the function of right mouse button just to disable the copy feature or saving an image feature.
