keep people from viewing my webpage source, how

[Josh Collins]

Especially in Mozilla, how can I keep people from viewing my webpage html?
Any free methods of doing so?

Not possible.

Why "especially Mozilla"? Are those users more likely to steal?

What's the point of having a webpage that you don't want others to see?
Doesn't that defeat the purpose of creating it in the first place?

 

[Josh Collins]

The code.....the code......not the webpage itself.

Those people are more than likely more paranoid than the IE users. Paranoid
enough to snoop where I don't want them. Thanks for changing the thread
topic.

Josh,

There is no way to disable view source, and even if there was, the page can
be saved and then viewed offline.

Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhh - that's different But since html is not some top secret
encryption, why the question? Even if you could hide the coding, it's still
possible with some knowledge of html to reproduce it.

I guess I'll never understand people who want a public site but then don't
want others to see their codes or copy their pictures. Seems rather silly if
you ask me. "Lookie what I have/can do and you can't have it!!
Pbbbbbbbbbbt!!!"

 

[Josh Collins]

Then maybe you will understand this. I just found out a service I was using
in conjunction with my website uses my user name in its JavaScript code that
is generated for me so I can paste it in my html. The only reason I found
this out is because I went and viewed my own code. I also want some other
scripts I use to be hidden for business-related reasons. It has nothing to
do with "Lookie what I have/can do and you can't have it!!" In fact, my
website is not entirely public. There are many areas that can be accessed
with only a password which is used by subscribers.

I did not ask you for your personal opinion. Go start a blog if you want to
waste people's time with personal commentary. BTW, some porn site linked to
wedding pics of my wife that I had on my website. Last month my number one
referrer was from a porn site. Maybe that is why people don't want their
pics copied? You said you will never understand......and I believe you.
There are alot of things you don't understand.

Josh,

Most JavaScript code is client-side, meaning that it has to be download by
the browser to run, so this code will always be viewable, so best to avoid
using JavaScript and instead look into using a server-side scripting
language such as ASP, PHP or CGI-Perl, etc. where you script is executed
directly on the server, and the only thing sent to the browser it the output
generated by the script.

Second, to solve the problem with photos, etc., set them up in a error that
require a login for access or place them on a page within your web that does
not link to any other page within your web site, so in order for the page to
view the user would have to know the specific URL.

Whoa - back off a few steps!

I was merely asking why people have websites if they don't want the
information out there made public. I'm sorry your site was somehow linked to
porn sites. No one needs that crap.

And I hardly need you to to tell me thaere's alot I don't understand. I
readily admit it and I'm not embarrassed to ask people why they do some
things. That's how we all learn about things we don't know. Perhaps you
understand everything there is - but then again if you did, you wouldn't
have been so nasty!

That's one of the stupidist things I've ever heard. Please share your
research. What does paranoia have to do with viewing your top-secret HTML?
Speaking of paranoid, maybe you should take a look in the mirror.

Thanks for changing the thread

I didn't change a thing. My question was directly related to your first
sentence, dumbass.
