How can I hide my code so people can't view my source

1) Open up your FTP client and log into your Web server.
2) Highlight your *.html files.
3) Find your keyboard and press the "Delete" key.
And you're done!

No one here will tell you because they are all premadonas and like to
keep these things to themselves so no one else knows about them. But I
refuse to be like everyone else so here is the code:
To do this you have to use an undocumented feature of the header tag in
HTML. The syntax is:
<head hidecode="[true|false|script|tag_name]">
true = all source is hidden
false (the default) = no source is hidden
script = just the script tags are hidden. (This is the most used
feature because it only hides your Javascript or VB script)
tag_name = you can choose a tag that you want hidden, like the object tag.
Most of the time you will just want to use true. By default it is set
to false (obviously or we would not be able to see any source code when
we view source.
Enjoy!

Brown's Law: The quality of HTML is inversely proportional to the
desire to hide it. ...

You can't. The best you can do is incorporate your methods into PHP, CGI or
the like. You then generate something that does not expose the methods like
JavaScript often does (I am not entirely sure about applets).
The Web is open. Don't hide your creation. If you have something to hide,
perhaps you ought to revise your code.

To the OP: please ignore this cargo-cult nonsense. This is a poor
alternative to the proper solution, which is to configure your server to
send the appropriate HTTP headers: content-visibility in this case. It
uses the same values -- with the same effect -- as the hidecode
attribute. However, the hidecode attribute was deprecated in HTML 2, and
eventually browsers will stop supporting it (a few user agents --
Googlebot and Firefox in particular -- don't support it now). However,
the HTTP header will be with us forever.
Keep up the great work!

That won't work alone; you also need the following attribute into the
<head> tag:
profile="rot13:V-jnag-gb-uvqr-zl-fbhepr-orpnhfr-V-nz-nfunzrq-bs-vg"

No, no no! That presentational HTML crud is deprecated in HTML 4.0, and
the strict doctype won't even allow it! Such things are properly handled
with CSS:
@media viewsource {
* {
display: none;
}
}
