    Disable HTML View->Source

    Hi All,

    I am not an HTML expert (and hence neither javascript or vbscript one either) so pardon me for a silly question.

    I have noticed that when you choose 'Source' from 'View' menu on the browser menubar it is possible to see the source code of the page. However, I have also noticed that for some websites clicking the View->Source does nothing. I wonder if anyone knows how to disable the View->Source command?

    Thanks in advance and my apologies if this is a simple, straightforward question.

    Regards,
    Urvi.

    Don't bother to worry about this - there's no way of blocking the view source that cannot be easily defeated.

    Some sites be silly and use javascript to cancel out a right mouse click, etc...

    It's simply impossible to hide your source. Even if you found a way to "hide" it, if someone wants it bad enough, there are numerous ways to do so.
    My evil laugh has a squeak in it.
