unreadable js code

[alex]

Hi all,

I'd like to find a way to make a part of my code unreadable from users when
they look at the source of my web page.
It is possible ?
I thought of using document.write(a_crypted_unreadable_string)... is it a
good idea ?
In fact, the code I want to make unreadable should generate html.

Thanks in advance,

One's desire to hide the source code is inversly proportional to its
quality.

So true,
but a simple advice could be given,
though highly ineffective but for restraining the most casual visitor.

Use an external jscript:
<script type='text/javascript' src='mySillySecret.js'></script>

This answers the OQ perfectly,
the page root wouldn't show the code at all. ;-)

It could.
However that html could be read pasting and using the IE command line:

javascript:alert(document.documentElement.outerHTM L)

Understand that nothing can be hidden from the person who is capable
of understanding and exploiting your code. a_crypted_unreadable_string
is the really bad idea.

The only thing that works is to unplug your server. Every other
technique to hide your code will fail. There is no point in doing
things that fail. Focus instead on things that succeed.

Of course it's possible; I come across it all the time. Just copy the layout of
the poorer code examples posted on here. In fact the more of a beginner
you are, the easier you should find it.

So much of the code that one encounters is soo poorly laid-out that it would be
classed as unreadable, which is what you requested.

Ok, I'll try my best to produce the worst js code ever ;-)
