Prevent viewing html source

[Brooke]

How can I prevent a user from viewing the html code on a web page?

e.g. right click->view source

 

[Elliot Rodriguez]

It is not possible. There are other ways of viewing source besides the one
you described - saving the page locally, simply choosing "View Source" from
your favorite browser's Edit menu, right clicking, screen scraping, etc.

To add- there are a couple of ways using Javascript to disable right
clicking (google for these scripts) but there are at least 3 other ways to
get at your source.

There are at least a half-dozen ways to do it that I can think of.

Bottom line is, the HTML is *downloaded* by the browser. If the browser can
read it, so can you.
