    Disabling the right click won't help, or be a good idea. Instead it will just prevent a user who really likes your site and wants to bookmark to do so without going through too much trouble.
    Using a script to obfuscate the code could be something but, if you ask me, unless the source is a really really good, unseen, unreproduceable design, it's not worth the trouble.

    Still. If it's unique and special, it just makes people want to get your source even more and use more powers thus getting the source anyway.

    Anyone who doesn't know that you cannot hide the source, doesn't know enough to write code that's worth hiding.

    Get over it and go do something productive.

    I know you can not hide your code completely, but there should be a way to make it hard to get (e.g. encoding it).

    Just give it up. You can't hide your html/css/javascript.

    Just what, exactly, makes your code so valuable that it needs to be invisible?
