Original Code:

<html>
<head>
<title>Hi</title>
&lt;script type="text/javascript"&gt;
function blah() {
  alert("Hey dude whats going on today?");
}

function blah2() {
  alert("Noting really...just hanging out.");
}

function blah3() {
  alert("Should we get drunk tonight then?");
}

function blah4() {
  alert("Sounds great.  I will pick up some vodka and ladies.");
}
&lt;/script&gt;
</head>
<body>
<a href="#" onclick="blah();">Blah</a><br />
<a href="#" onclick="blah2();">Blah2</a><br />
<a href="#" onclick="blah3();">Blah3</a><br />
<a href="#" onclick="blah4();">Blah4</a><br />
</body>
</html>

Compressed code:

<html>
<head>
<title>Hi</title>
&lt;script type="text/javascript"&gt;
$="f©ction blah¥Hey dud«what¨o¦nªday?§2¥Noting ¬lly...jus*hang¦ut.§3¤hould w«ge*dr©kªnigh*then?§4¤o©d¨¬t.  I will pick up som«vodka and ladies.¢);}";for(I=10;I>=0;)$=$.replace(eval("/"+String.fromCharCode(163+I)+"/g"),"¢);}function b¡(){alert(¢S¡(){alert(¢¡ing o¡£lah¡s g¡un¡ to¡e ¡rea¡t ".split("¡")[I--]);eval($.replace(/¢/g,"\""));
&lt;/script&gt;
</head>
<body>
<a href="#" onclick="blah();">Blah</a><br />
<a href="#" onclick="blah2();">Blah2</a><br />
<a href="#" onclick="blah3();">Blah3</a><br />
<a href="#" onclick="blah4();">Blah4</a><br />
</body>
</html>

It works for me. At least it prevents script kiddies from stealing your code so easily for their own use. I agree that anything really important needs to be kept off the web but I think if you are selling scripts or something then this is a decent way to protect your code.

Went to this site to see, as many of these you can easily "decrypt". Well the site comes up and says "Not Available", so that really doesn't protect you much

Face it, if it's online people can get it, the browser has to get it to display it. Like renegade said, to 100% protect it don't put it on the net.

I once knew someone a few years ago that was doing web work, who let his "clients" (small time work) view his sample of the site he was making them online. One time someone took his "preview" and went live with it on their servers. He was so confused how they got his code and bypassed paying him. (I think later they did pay him).

Don't put it on the internet.

I download flash movies, I got my own foamy archive

You don't even need a download client. All you have to do is create a standard html page with a link with the href set to the full URL of the javascript file. Then open it in a web browser, right click and select "save target as...". I use that technique for "borrowing" flash and movie content all the time!

you cant hide .js files eather! I have downloaded them number of times from peoples websites. All u need Is a download client. View source then copy the url

It's not possible to prevent the html from being saved, because in order for the page to be viewed in a web browser it is automatically downloaded to your computer anyway. That's how web browsers work. The moment the user enters your page name into their browser, the browser retrieves the content and stores it locally for reading.

I was able to save the page, no problem. They do have commas in their in their header, which both IE and Firefox try to use as the filename. Of course, commas aren't allowed in file names, so I had to change the filename to temp.html. I then had no problem.

As far as I know, there's no absolute way to stop people from saving pages. To even view the page, it is temporarily saved on your computer.

no script
