a method of hiding the code vs disableing the right click button?

Like most technical newsgroups, this one has a FAQ which should be
scanned before posting new questions:

No.

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.

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.
