- 1). Disable the context menu (where the "View Page Source" option is located) by copying and pasting the following JavaScript code into your website's header code file directly after your site's <head> tag.
<SCRIPT language=JavaScript>
<!-- http://www.spacegun.co.uk -->
var message = "function disabled";
function rtclickcheck(keyp){ if (navigator.appName == "Netscape" && keyp.which == 3){ alert(message); return false; }
if (navigator.appVersion.indexOf("MSIE") != -1 && event.button == 2) { alert(message); return false; } }
document.onmousedown = rtclickcheck;
</SCRIPT>
Note that the script will only disable the right-click menu -- the "View" command button on the main toolbar will still let users view the page source, but it should prevent most users from viewing it. - 2). Hide any HTML page sources by encrypting the code. Online page encryption programs like HTML Encrypt and RLRouse (see Resources) can encrypt your code in seconds by using an online conversion program; this makes it impossible to view an original HTML page source. Simply visit the encryption site and insert your Web page's HTML code into the conversion box. Press the "Encrypt" button and use the new code for your website design. Ensure though you keep an original version of the HTML code for any changes that need to be made in the future.
- 3). Add a disclaimer and roughly 50 empty lines of code to the beginning of your website's code; this will make the page source look totally blank to a novice and only experienced users will know to scroll down to find it. Adding a disclaimer such as "The page source for this website cannot be viewed" should also put off most users from trying to view it.
