Is there a way to make sure that no one can view and copy the source code of a site created by VSD? How does one do it in VSD or any other program? Is there some sort of code? I've seen sites that have this ability I just don't know how it's done.
Thanks in advance!

Unfortunately that is not technically possible with any program. That is just how the Internet works. The most you can block is right mouse click view source, but then you can always use the menu function to see it.

Oh, ok. Well how does one block right mouse click? And what is the "menu function"?
Thanks!

Why the need to block the source code?

There is really no way to do it effectively using HTML (which is what the VDS uses to create the web page). I have never seen a "no right click" code that I could not bypass. It usually encourages people like me to try harder
The "menu function" is simply using the browser menu to select "page" "view source" and there it is, even with a no right click.

You can even use editors like CoffeeCup to download the web page, and then edit the source code all you want for practice, eliminating any "right click" at all. Left handed people who switch the mouse controls to suit their needs get offended with "no right click" scripts, because right click is equal to a right handed person left clicking

Now for the encouraging news...Flash animation is difficult to copy, and the source code only shows the code to put the flash on the page. Can't change or read anything valuable there.
You could also use php programming, which happens at the server, so you can't read much of the code on the web page. Combine that with .css and you might get something that is difficult for the average person to view the source, but none of that is possible using VSD, so back to square one.

No real reason. I'm just curious because I see many websites with it blocked. I never thought of how annoying it could be for a "lefty" to have to switch the way they click the mouse.

I once saw an attempt to conceal the code: First the person making the site had been 'sitting' on the Enter key for a while, so that there were some metres of empty space before the code started. Then all the code and contents were written white on white so that it couldn't be seen without marking it. In between the code there was also ample use of the Enter key. The whole document loaded extremely slow.

I would say 'Don't use that method!

That still will not do it. You can still right click on any frame and use the view frame source option. Also with FireFox you can use the developer toolbar to pretty much circumvent anything like that.

Ultimately if your browser renders it, you can view the source.

Devek, I was not suggesting it! I was just telling about something I saw once and added that I would not advise anyone to use it.

And it was the Enter key that had been used. By using the <br> or <p> the empty space would have been visible on the pages in the browser too, but it wasn't.

Just remember that if you can't read the code, then most search engines can't either. Flash and Java aren't good for SEO.

Right click disable has a whole host of things wrong with it. Most of the time, you can easily work around it. Usually only takes a couple extra mouse clicks. Remember, if the person is seeing your website, then the website has been cached on their computer already. The only question is if they are tech savvy enough to realize it.

What you can do is to stick your name in the code, so that it doesn't appear on the website, but is searchable if someone steals it. Best thing to do with pics is to do a transparent copyright symbol with your URL splashed across the pic. Both tactics won't keep people from stealing, but it will let you know if they did...or at least drive traffic to your site (from the pic having your URL stuck on it).

that must mean this is no good either hum!
