Myth - You can hide the source code of an HTML page
Myth
You can hide the source code of an HTML page.
Reality
FALSE.
Explanations
To view a web page (HTML), the browser must - at a time when another - have the HTML code.
There is always way to recover it.
- The most common solutions to prevent access to the source are:
- The prohibition of right-click and save it (which is easily bypassed in Firefox by unchecking the corresponding JavaScript in the configuration)
- The use of multiple frames or iframes to hide the real URLs of pages (the screen "Page Info" in Firefox will show the related URLs).
- Encryption of the page (including a bit of Javascript, which decrypts the page). Is easily bypassed by using the inspector Firefox code that accesses the HTML code after execution.
