Hiding Javascript Code

I have some javascript i don't want the client to be able to view. is there
a method of hiding the code vs disableing the right click button?
Once again thanks in advance.

Oh, but I disagree. Run some javascript interpreter on the server side.
Or just don't give the client the javascript. Or disable his right
button, left button, keyboard, harddrive and monitor. And network.

Actually, there's a whole lot of methods of hiding Javascript. None
works.

Run serverside javascript under ASP as you hinted at above,
and the code is perfectly hidden from the client.

take it off your server then.

there's no way to completely hide javascript from the user.

encryption is probably possible, but that's not the same thing...

If it's to be executed, it must be decrypted first. And if the client
can decrypt it for purpose of execution, they can decrypt it for
purpose of viewing.

Better just write code you won't be ashamed to show to your clients.

I put this together from some other scripts I am using on a site. I'm trying to make a better email hiding script. It isn't working. Also, it causes Internet Explorer 6 SP2 to block the script as "active content". :( The idea is that if the user doesn't have JavaScript enabled, they will see an image of the email address (that can't be read by email harvesting programs). If JavaScript is enabled, the image will be hidden and the...

I have a lot of DIV tags on an HTML page. I want to group some of them so that I can hide them all together at once if needed. What's a good way to do this? I want this to be compatible with at least IE 5. Would it be a good idea to assign all DIV tags in the same group the same "title" attribute? This is what I want to do, but I'm not sure if it's the correct approach, and I'm not sure how to set the style with javascript either: ...

Hi, first, python is one of my fav languages, and i'll definitely keep developing with it. But, there's 1 one thing what I -really- miss: data hiding. I know member vars are private when you prefix them with 2 underscores, but I hate prefixing my vars, I'd rather add a keyword before it. Python advertises himself as a full OOP language, but why does it miss one of the basic principles of OOP? Will it ever be added to python?
