Hide HTML Source Code

Hide HTML Source Code

Hiding HTML source code is possible. It requires JavaScript, but there
is no need to encrypt HTML output or do anything else which would
decrease performance. I discovered this about five years ago, but at
that time it would have been considered bad practice in regards to
cross-browser-compatibility. Now that AJAX has become a programming
standard, the time has come to let this loose on the the public. I
won't tell you how I do it, but I will provide you with a working
example.

If anyone is able to crack this, I would appreciate the feedback.

Not effectively

Which is run by the browser, so a DOM Inspector can extract the markup
in about two clicks.

Correct. Hiding the HTML source is pointless.

.... and still is. Hiding all your content from search engines and
users of Opera Mobile is generally considered a bad idea.
