HTML Encryption?
Is there a way to encrypt HTML so that the "view source" is unreadable by people but readable by at least Internet Explorer?
Could I do something like convert it to binary?
My searches on the Internet only found products that "encrypt" HTML but decript it in the view source with the JavaScript function "unescape". This is NOT what I want, because any intermediate JavaScript user could access the HTML code.

no the html code is on the client machine and you cannot hide it

It's impossible however there is some work around techniques.

Why? I cannot believe you're doing anything in HTML that is THAT unique that nobody else could duplicate it.
If you're looking to protect the INFORMATION -- slap a copyright notice on it, and sue anybody who copies it. That's what the large corporations do. The CONTENT is different from the FORMAT.

hexagon47 -- LOL, I like that link. Are the <INVISIBLE> tags NN 4 compatible? :)
Louskan -- thanks for the work-arounds, but I think I would want to make it unreadable (even if the user saves it to their hard drive).
webwoman -- this is just something that has been bugging me. I realize that the copyright would solve the protection problem.
Can't Flash do something like this? It's only readable if the user has Flash, right?

I don't know, have not tried, I am afraid the browser will disapper :)
Alopederii trust me and look at this site and listen to webwoman: there are milions of sites and milions of users. The internet is about sharing knowledge and making knowledge AVAILABLE.
If a kid that for the first time goes to the web and rocks up at your website, wouldn't you be happy if he uses your html to learn ot improve his knowledge?
My opinion is this: put on the web the best you can and spend time to improve it not to hide it.
Sorry for the rant...
However do you think it's worth it to display your site as flash? You prevent users that do not have a flash plugin to see it because you want to hide the source? Do you honestly think it is worth it?
Then at this point learn asp and put chunks of code and content in a database, but it's not worth it

If you cannot write HTML code that is good enough for everyone to see, then do not write any at all.

I know this is a late entry but... there could be information contained in hidden form fields that I would want to protect or maybe the url to my images folder. Sure, a user can right-click and save my image but I can use a no right-click script, open a window without a menu and most novice users won't know a way around this. Otherwise, you want my code, god bless you!
