Anybody think we can get EE to set up a 'don't ask these questions -- we've already answered them a zillion times' FAQ? ;-)

make your java script file as .js file and put in seperate directory to avoid others to see. For html source as its all common no need to hide.

I've seen this done on many web pages, so it can't be impossible. How did they do it?

I appreciate the url that explained the view source. I have been to sites that do have the view source option grayed out. Do you know how they did this?
Any ideas would be appreciated.

Give me any 'HTML' page on the web and I'll give you the source.
BTW, if you hit refresh button, EE will reprint your comment. You should use the reload question link at the top right.
Back to topic. Please give me the URL and I'll investigate - I don't specialise in IE-specific code so I don't know about ActiveX changing the browser but there is no cross-browser disabling(and I have many browsers).
You only requested IE and Netscape and even between them 2 you wouldn't have a hope.

The only way I know to disable view source is to force the user to open a PDF file, in IE, have Acrobat 5 (not anything else), and then go to your page.
Of course, you have no control over any of that... ;-)
And, they STILL could make a page, put a link to your page on it, right click, and save it.
Kinda hard to stop that. ;-)
