Well, would you believe MS had a go at it once?? Maybe first appeared way back in mid 2001 if memory is correct?
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/script56/ht ml/seconencodingsample.asp I should note it only encrypted "Jscript" at the time I tried it and non-IE browsers had no idea how to handle it..

It encrypts the source code so you can view it but it is encrypted." It doesn't. It makes it slightly harder to view source by "encrypting" (very much in inverted commas) the data. However the entire "encryption" & decryption mechanism is sent to the user as javascript so anyone with the time or inclination could reverse engineer it. This is either the stupidest concept I have ever see in my life or the one of the best jokes around (they must be Irish (sorry Mark L)). Not only is it completely pointless but it completely breaks any concept of accessibility & standards compliance. Turn off javascript and you get a blank page...... Why anyone would want to encrypt html or css is beyond me + half their listed "key benefits" are complete misrepresentations (lies). dumb, dumb, dumb, dumb Cheers Mark ------------------ Mark Stanton Technical Director Gruden Pty Ltd Tel: 9956 6388 Mob: 0410 458 201 Fax: 9956 8433 http://www.gruden.com ***************************************************** The discussion list for http://webstandardsgroup.org/ ***************************************************** ***************************************************** The discussion list for http://webstandardsgroup.org/ *****************************************************
