Sir,
Is there is any way to hide my html source so that by viewsource the user cannot steal my code.
I tried by disabling the right click by javascript but by using the window key in keyboard the user ca take it i aslo tries to caputure the key code but there is no keycode for window key.
Any way?????????
Thanks in advance,
ArunKumar
Where there is a will there is a way

I don't think it's possible, but why so worried about someone stealing you html-code?

No, and even if you could, I could simply downlaod the page to my computer.
check out the zend encoder

This is a PHP question because....?
Zend Encoder encodes PHP files, so I suppose to encode your HTML files, you'd need to rename them all to PHP
And spending that kind of money on the Encoder just to encode HTML files is stupid, and for what? Your server would then need the decoder for your browser to render the pages...
But this is really, really pointless. HTML is not a new clever science, hell there are a million and one tutorials all over the web. Anyone can do it now, it's that simple so why try to mask it?
Want to ask another silly question? Please, I dare you...
What is the benefit of hiding your source? It just makes your site annoying and amateur-ish.
its not a silly question, if you have proprietary data you wish to hide from the user encoding is the way to go. We use it for our enterprise products and it encodes any kind of file you want, not just .php files.
If you're just creating a small site for yourself and friends then its overkill but if you're looking to sell an application then its the way to go.

How would plain HTML contain proprietary data that isn't available on the actual page itself? HTML is nothing more than markup for your content. Your page is your content. Hiding the source is just as pointless as hiding the page content.Originally Posted by jplush76
Encoding the server-side source when distributing code is certainly useful for commercial projects, but client-side code masking is silly.
And can I just take the time to mention that disabling right-click is:
a) incredibly annoying. Stop playing around with my GUI.
b) easily worked around by disabling javascript (which I can do with one click in Firefox w/t the developers toolbar, and a couple of clicks without it).
in my case the output that is sent to the browser in not encoded but the actual html src files are because we distribute our application. I believe he is talking about what the browser renders but consider he makes his money as a freelance web designer...
he makes a site for a client, its all html, nice and pretty... he shows it to the client and now the client can copy everything, use the site and not pay him. I've heard of that happening quite a few times from people I know.

thats definately the truth, I hate the right click disable.. its pointless, same as when people don't let you right click their images when all I have to do is print screen or view the source and access the file directly.

actually, yes, there are three good ways to hide your source code
one is to set the following META tag in the <head>...</head> --
two is to use the <hide>...</hide> tags around every block of code that you want to hideCode:<meta http-equiv="view-source" content="no">
three is to download the source code of your page to a CD, delete the source code from your server/host, delete the source code from your own computer, take the CD to your toaster, dial a nice deep brown colour, and pop it in
Here's a PHP method. Put this at the top of all files:
PHP Code:die('Sorry, you can\'t see my page because you might steal my source.');
here are some links I found for you that might help

though neither seems all that great

is this forum for helping people or making fun of their questions?

This is the PHP forum, actually, and the question has absolutely nothing to do with PHP.
Furthermore, the original question has no solution. So, since we've all seen the question a million times before, we're having fun.
jim, could you show me one of your pages where something has been done to prevent me from seeing the source code
it's always fun to see how many seconds it takes to crack it
