    Here how to do it in Internet Explorer:

    If you are talking about how to do it on a clients computer, from a web page. Then the answer is, you cannot prevent the user from viewing the source code.

    all they have to do is go to:
    view-source:http://www.yoursite.com to get it. or they can use an application, essentially a browser which doesn't parse the code. (which can be made in about 3 minutes)

    In IE that restriction will disable it completely. But then there is nothing stopping the user from downloading another web browser such as lynx and using that to dump the source in a text file.

    They can disable JavaScript. They can use wget (or a similar download app) to get the code. Mozilla 1.7 has a specific option to force enable the right-click menu.


    Bottom Line: trying to hide your source from the user is pointless and annoying.

    why do you want to block the source code? maybe we can find a workaround, obviously the best one would be to use a server side language.
