Is there a way you can block people from right-clicking on your web page and viewing your source code?

There is no fool-proof way. If you use JavaScript then a user simply needs to disable JavaScript to get around it. The only way to keep it safe is to obfuscate it, or encrypt it

I see. I was on a site the other day and i went to view the source code and a little box popped up and wouldn't let me right click on anything. It was pretty cool so i figured if i ever did i web page it would be something to try.

If people can see your site in a browser they can see the source code. It's that simple. Any attempt to stop it will fail if anyone really wants it.

Of course you can obfuscate it but even that can be worked around. The web is by nature open and to try and close it is more work then it's really worth.

You can do that with JavaScript, but all a person would have to do is use the browser menu bar and select View > Page Source and they can see it.

It really is more hassle than it is worth. Who cares if someone accesses your source code. As long as you aren't hardcoding passwords for everyone to see.

I don't really care, just something i was curious if you could do or not. And if so how you would go about doing it.

Even with all of the JavaScript & mouse click detection, one could click view source code with IE. Control + U in FireFox.

You could obfuscate your html code, or write it in foreign language (bablefish).

Come to think of it, I thought I seen the JavaScript snippet for that in this forum. I am almost positive I did but too lazy to search for it smile.gif
