Cant view source - HTML / CSS

Michael Hill

I saw a site that looked pretty good, but I could view the source.

2 questions:

1) how can I do the same for my site
2) any way to get around this?

I doubt there is anything that really works like that. What is the URL
to the site you looked at?

I suspect you could NOT view the source, is that correct? I suspect yu
could, though you didn't know how.

You can't.

Yes. I can most likely explain how if you give the URL.

It's up again and I had a few laughs about it :)

It keeps wondering me that people really believe that HTML source can't
be viewed, while at the same time their browser is rendering the code.

vgstrategies.ab out.com attempts to stop you looking at the page source
and also stops CTRL-C (text copy) from working.

It only seems to work in Internet Explorer, and appears to rely on this
<BODY> tag to do its evil work:

BODY onselectstart=" return false" ondragstart="re turn false"
BGCOLOR="#fffff f" TEXT="#000000" LINK="#000090" VLINK="#000090" >

Saving the page source from within IE, removing onselectstart=" return
false" ondragstart="re turn false" with notepad, saving it, and reloading
the changed local file gets around the problem. Using another browser
such as Firefox is also a solution. :)

I don't think there is a fool-proof way to hide the page source. After
all, a browser will always need it to render the page.

Some of the Javascript scripts that encode pages and display them with
document.write( )s are quite clever, and would probably stop most visors
seeing the source. Of course not everyone allows their browser to run
Javascript scripts. Do you really need to hide the source, though? I'm
sure most, if not all, of us 'borrow' ideas and tricks from elsewhere.
Shouldn't we be willing to share our knowledge?

How many people, who are that good that they've got something worth
hiding, won't have moved on by the time anyone gets around to copying
anything they've done? I'm quite happy with anyone copying anything I've
ever done, because the next site is going to be a whole load better.

At a guess, you were using IE and your cache was full (IE breaks at
this point).

Clear the cache and you should see it again.
