You can't. Besides:
1) That's not the only way to view the source.
2) Seeing as the user already has downloaded your page (they couldn't view
it otherwise), how do you propose you stop them from looking at its source?
Finally, what's so special that no-one should see your code?

Even if you could do that, would you be satisfied when they choose View
Source from their browser's menu?

You don't. In fact, HTML is a markup language; there are no commands to
do anything. But not to worry: it is doubtful that you have any HTML
code worth stealing.

Remove it from the server and never put it up again. There's no way to do
this in HTML, and for future reference HTML does not have commands because
it is not a programming language.
Once you learn more about authoring HTML for the Web you'll realize just how
silly this question is that you just asked.

Thank you.
While it is the case that you can never totally prevent
people who know how from viewing your code, there are ways
that you can use to make it less easy..
First, you need to control the context menu, I'd recommend http://www.usingit.com/products/js/menu/jcm/
===
Javascript ContextMenu 1.0
Javascript ContextMenu is a powerful Javascript-producing
design tool for creating context menu on web pages. The menu
will replace the default context menu of the web browser. It
will appear if user right-click the mouse on the web browser
window.
===
Second you need to open your page in a chromeless window,
that is, a window without the usual menu.. For this I'd look
at http://www.dynamicdrive.com/dynamici...chromeless.htm
===
A chromeless window is a special type of window stripped of
the conventional interface, such as titlebar, browser
buttons, status bar etc (aka chrome). This allows you to
implement your own chrome, from how the title bar should
look, the buttons to display (ie: close, max), to whether to
render a border. In other words, complete control over the
window's look

How do you disable the right click>view source option on
web pages so people can't view your coding
As I'm sure many people have told you already, you don't!
While it is the case that you can never totally prevent
people who know how from viewing your code, there are ways
that you can use to make it less easy..
Which is exactly why you shouldn't. You do not have any right
whatsoever to control your visitors application window. You have the
power of suggestion over the contents of the viewport — you control the
content and the default presentation. You do not control the size of my
window, whether or not I have toolbars and menus, the status bar, and
you should not control when I open a new window. These are all part of
my application, not yours. I am the one browsing the web page, not you,
so why on earth do you want to control the way I do so? There is *no*
valid reason for doing so, it only serves to make your site more
annoying and less usable.
First, you need to control the context menu, I'd recommend
http://www.usingit.com/products/js/menu/jcm/
Second you need to open your page in a chromeless window,
that is, a window without the usual menu.. For this I'd look
at
http://www.dynamicdrive.com/dynamici...chromeless.htm
Hiding the menus and toolbars and blocking the context menu prevents me
perfoming valuable functions like using the back button (though luckily,
I have one availble on my mouse), reloading the page, bookmarking the
page, selecting "translate this page" from my googlebar, adding a user
stylesheet using Web Developer, disabling page colours, increasing text
size (if I didn't know the keyboard shortcut) and countless other
functions I, or anyone else may use on a daily basis.
Also, opening your site in a new window makes unreasonable assumptions
about my preferences for my window size. I don't like having browser
windows maximized, I don't like having tiny little boxes, I like having
*my window* at the size I make it, and you have no right to force me to
change it! If you design your site correctly, and make the layout fluid
enough, then it should not matter what size *my window* is. I'm the one
viewing it, so I am in control of how I view it, NOT YOU!
Lastly, making a window "chromeless" is dangerous, especially in IE
(before SP2) because it has the ability to hide the title bar. This
provides valuable accessibility functions, like providing the title of
the page, and the name of the application, and it also provides my
minimise, maximise and close buttons. Although, in the demonstration
provided, these were added using images, they did not match my system
settings. They were a lot smaller, and failed to look like my close
buttons. You don't know, but I may have poor vision and have my system
set up to make those min, max and close buttons twice as big as default,
to help me target them with the cursor, and they may have high
contrasting colours to help me see them. None of those features are
provided by the replacement buttons provided in the demonstration.l
Not only that, but having experienced many sites that abuse that system,
I'm reluctant to use such buttons, out of fear of them performing
unexpected behaviours. If you provide them, it means you have provided
their function. Thus, it is possible for you to do anything but close
my window. Thankfully, SP2 solved that problem and no longer allows IE
windows to hide the title bar, and descent browsers like Firefox give me
advanced control over scripting, but many users aren't as skilled as I,
and will only get confused by your efforts.
So, in conclusion, you *DO NOT* control my application, I DO!

Basically what you are saying are that those who have no interest in
the source and wouldn't know what to do with it if they got it, can be
hindered from seeing it, but anyone who really cared would still have
no real problem. So: why bother?
First, you need to control the context menu,
Lesson #1 of the WWW: once it's left your server, YOU DO NOT
CONTROL ANYTHING.

Well, you can't do that, but you can do the next best thing.
Configuring your server to send any one of these HTTP Status codes for
the HTML documents you need to protect should work well for you:
401 Unauthorized
403 Forbidden
404 Not Found
410 Gone

But it's an utterly pointless exercise. Those who really could benefit
from your code will easily get around this, those who don't care get
decreased usability and annoying little windows popping up. It hurts
rather than helps.

And this will not do anything with Javascript disabled. Even with Javascript

Besides, once it's left the server, you don't control jack shit.

Second, it's rude to your users to assume they want a page in a new window,

Third, once it has left your server, you don't control jack shit.

My post was a response to a poster, and cover aspects from a
technical point, after a forewarning about the impracticality of
this. Personally when I use such methods it is with the intent
of enhancing the browsing experience of a visitor, and not a
matter of control. My focus is on the user interaction.
However, I now see that there are strong feelings about this,
and I will be a little more sensitive when I do things like
that..

Consider it this way: When a user interacts with an application and
the usual response isn't received, it confuses the user and causes him
to worry that something is broken. If the user realizes that he is
being prevented deliberately from using functions he expects to have
at his disposal, he becomes annoyed. Confusion, worry, and annoyance
are not usually thought of as "enhancements" to the user experience.

The point is well taken, my thinking is based on my
background in developing instructional resources. In this
context an element of control and direction of the user
interaction is required. Extrapolating from that, if the
user is a newbie then they would probably benefit more by a
little guidance/help. If on the other hand they are
proficient, then they will be able to control their own
viewing experience.
I guess what I'm getting from this discussion is that
guidance rather than control is a better option.
Interesting.

If that's what you're getting, it's a credit to our ability to explain and
your ability to comprehend. That's exactly it. Because of the myriad of
possible factors affecting rendering, control on the WWW is impossible,
and attepts to control will eventually fail. This thread has been closed and replies have been disabled. Please start a new discussion. Similar topics
