I don't have enough knowledge about Internet, but as far as I know there is no way to "lock" your code in case of scripts, but in case of asp, noone can edit that.

The reason I am asking is because awile back I went to some german site and did a right click and a little box came up I just couldn't read it also when I goto some sites when I right click nothing happens I figured they must have some kind of thing to hide their HTML code.

Hi

I did find an example of disabling the right mouse click at : http://www.dynamicdrive.com/dynamicindex11/noright.htm.

This won't stop surfers being able to view your code though, it only disables the right click on the browsers window. People can still do a 'Save Target As' on any link to your page - and they can still click on the 'View...Source' from the menu bar.

The only *real* way to hide your code is to either have your pages generated by CGI scripts, or use ASP.

You can use

<script ID="S1" language="JavaScript" src='/library/toolbar/toolbar.js'> </script>

for your java scripts file .So, the user can't read your script sources.

Thank you very much! that will indeed come in handy :) I'm gonna go try it out very shortly :) If you or anyone can come up with any other suggestions it would also be appreciated :) Thanks again!

just read in the August issue of MIND
"With version 5.0 of the Microsoft Script Engine and Internet Explorer 5.0, you can now encode your VBSCript and Jscript work so others can't grab it."
The technology is called "Script Encoding"
