    What do you mean "source code"? Do you mean HTML or source code for an application?

    If it's HTML, there is no way to hide it. You could use another language like PHP that requires it to be parsed by the server before displaying it but there are still ways around that.

    If you mean source code for an application, don't post it up on the website.

    using server side scripting you can hide your code from being displayed by the web brouser. what happens is the client side script or the html code gets executed by the client web browser on the clients machine itself but you an specify that the script should run at the server e.g in VB script <script language="vbscript" runnat="server"> you can forsce the script to be executed at the server and the result is displayed to the client and not the code. using ASP , JAVA script , CGI Pearl Script you can dynamecly create page without showing the source to the client web browser. eg in ASP

    responce.write "<html>"
    responce.write "<body>"
    responce.write "welcome to codeless web site"
    responce.write "</body>"
    responce.write "</html>"

    You could simply follow this page instructions and let it do its thing...
    It is sord of a tut for hiding the code from the folks at Programming Talk.

    There is no good and reliable way to hide html source. Any encoding you do has to be decoded and can be accessed if the person is sufficiently motivated.

    theres a program out there that encrypts the HTML source, with the aid of Java script is de-crypted but when you go to view source you get the encrypted version.
    WebBlock or something, it's pretty effective but frowned uppon because if you don't have js the page won't display, and it also disables copy-paste

    Why would you want to hide HTML? Unless you've come up with some radical, new way of coding HTML, there is no point in hiding it.
