Disable scrolling bar in browser when viewing source code

Question

After reading this post I'm curious to know if it is possible to disable scrolling eg: overflow:hidden when viewing source code of a web page.

I have read that it is not professional to try to hide the source code of a web page and I agree with that so my question is more about "what can be done or not" and not about "should I do it or not".

Thank you.

Answer 1

You can not hide the source code. But you can try to obfuscate the source to make it harder to reverse engeneer your code. If you use PHP than take a look at the free Html Encoder for ionCube. But be aware that your visitors can always see the DOM tree and reverse engeneer the code. And remember: When your visitors disabled javascript they can't access your site.

Answer 2

Not possible and even if it was, it would be pointless, as one could always get the source otherways. E.g. cURLing it.
