    Encrypting your html/javascript is a total waste of time. Including preventing right click.

    Yes but it is pointless as said above.

    Any one just view the source and copy the link/text. Or hit cntrl c :)

    So go to the view menu then source. Simple as that.

    You can also append view-source: to a url (eg view-source:http://www.example.com) to display only the source.

    Also, if you're going to obfuscate your code, it has to e with a client-side technology (ie javascript) which can be reverse-engineered by anyone with half a braincell.

    If you want to give an example, either take screenshots or put alot of unearned trust to your client. Even if the code is encrypted, people can still copy the encrypted source and use it. And its not even real encryption:

    I just tried it out, and its most secure level did ABSOLUTELY nothing except add an annoying banner at the top of my page. The source code remains the same, and the HTML it added:

    
    <SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript"><!--
    document.write(unescape("%3C%53%43%52%49%50%54%20%4C%41%4E%47%55%41%47%45%3D%22%4A%61%76%61%53%63%72%69%70%74%22%3E%3C%21%2D%2D%0D%0A%68%70%5F%6F%6B%3D%74%72%75%65%3B%66%75%6E%63%74%69%6F%6E%20%68%70%5F%64%30%32%28%73%29%7B%69%66%28%21%68%70%5F%6F%6B%29%72%65%74%75%72%6E%3B%76%61%72%20%6F%3D%22%22%2C%61%72%3D%6E%65%77%20%41%72%72%61%79%28%29%2C%6F%73%3D%22%22%2C%69%63%3D%30%2C%70%3D%30%3B%66%6F%72%28%69%3D%30%3B%69%3C%73%2E%6C%65%6E%67%74%68%3B%69%2B%2B%29%7B%63%3D%73%2E%63%68%61%72%43%6F%64%65%41%74%28%69%29%3B%69%66%28%63%3C%31%32%38%29%63%3D%63%5E%28%28%70%2B%2B%25%38%29%2B%31%29%3B%6F%73%2B%3D%53%74%72%69%6E%67%2E%66%72%6F%6D%43%68%61%72%43%6F%64%65%28%63%29%3B%69%66%28%6F%73%2E%6C%65%6E%67%74%68%3E%38%30%29%7B%61%72%5B%69%63%2B%2B%5D%3D%6F%73%3B%6F%73%3D%22%22%7D%7D%6F%3D%61%72%2E%6A%6F%69%6E%28%22%22%29%2B%6F%73%3B%64%6F%63%75%6D%65%6E%74%2E%77%72%69%74%65%28%6F%29%7D%2F%2F%2D%2D%3E%3C%2F%53%43%52%49%50%54%3E"));//--></SCRIPT>
    
    Code (markup):
    Uppercase tag, language attribute - no type attribute - pathetically old school.

    As Synchronium said, it is too easy to decrypt. See:
    document.write(unescape("%3C%..."))
    Code (markup):
    Well the source code is just:
    
    unescape("%3C%...")
    
    Code (markup):
    And EVERY browser needs some form of HTML passed to it to read, and this is stored in the DOM, which is accessible by developer tools in Opera and IE8 Beta, and with the Firebug extension in Firefox - encryption is pointless, and makes your page slower and inaccessible to those with JS disabled.

    Blimey, it's worse than Javascript rollover images (yeah, I am looking at you Dreamweaver)

    And thats why I use Opera - won't let stupid scripts like this work by default.
