Hi

I second the question as to why anyone would want to
hide html code?

As for javascript, the same applies, but I'm not
wanting to teach my Grandmother how to such eggs, but
by simply writing all javascript in a .js file,
sticking it in a folder on your site and linking to it
using:

<SCRIPT language="JavaScript1.2"
src="/js/homepage.js"></SCRIPT>

Will do the trick and keep your javascript source code
away from un-motivated prying eyes.

The only 2 times you really want to hide stuff (in my
opinion) is data; in the form of images or data that
is printed out that a competitor might harvest.

1. Images
There is 3rd party software out there that actually
encrypts images and even tags where it gets displayed
on the web (archemedia i think used to do this).
All this disable right hand click stuff might keep the
extreme novice out, but otherwsie it's a bit like
having a notice "please don't steal anything" on your
locker.

2. Harvestors
This is more difficult (!), but anything is in theory
is possible.

As for your code, in my experience there is a wealth
of fantastically written code out there for free.

My advice is to let it go. You should be flattered
anyone would want to use your code!

Cheers
Mike
