With Microsoft, I don't think they do anything unless it will help them gain market share. In any case, 90% of your users don't care about the source code anyway, and of the remaining 10% that might want to have a peek, most of them probably know how to ask the server directly, defeating the purpose. If anyone is thinking they need to hide something in the source code, they should ask themselves.. 1. Is my code really SO good that it needs to be protected? If this is the case, you probably know a back-end language like ColdFusion already, so the logic should be moved there. 2. Is the data contained in the code REALLY so important it needs to be hidden? If this is the case, why are you sending "valuable" data to the client to begin with? If you're passing it between pages, encrypt it before moving it to the client or consider storing it on the server and sending a pointer to the client. I'm truly amazed and how often this comes up. -Justin Scott, Lead Developer Sceiron Internet Services, Inc. http://www.sceiron.com __ Get the mailserver that powers this list at http://www.coolfusion.com FAQ: http://www.thenetprofits.co.uk/coldfusion/faq Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/cf-talk@houseoffusion.com/ Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/index.cfm?sidebar=lists
RE: Hiding Info In View Source
If you are just trying to hide values, then you can put them in Session or Client vars. This way, you don't have to pass them at all, yet still have access to the values. But, you do have to get the values to the server somehow in the first place. Maybe a blank, hidden IFrame, then set the source of the IFrame in JS Code, specifiying the values as URL Parameters. Unless of course your values are coming from a database, in which case the page never really needs to seem them.

> Does anyone know of a way to hide some form fields in the view source > code? It really boils down to what the visitor uses to view the source - if they use NotePad, sure (not sure which character to start with, but I think it's 26) I personally use CFStudio, so there's no way to block what I see as it shows everything...
