Here are a number of very effective methods of keeping unscrupulous surfers from stealing your HTML source:
- Use the <INVISIBLE> </INVISIBLE> tags around the entire document.
- Use the DONTSTEAL attribute in the <BODY> tag.
- Ftp to your server, select all files and directories, hit “Delete”.
- Put every existing copy of every file on floppies, place them in a shoebox and bury them in the backyard. There is another version of this method which involves placing the floppies in a plastic bag and hiding them in a different sort of hole. Both are equally effective.
- Password protect your entire site and make sure no one has the password, not even you.
- Employ a small but fanatically loyal and well-armed band of mercenaries to guard your site.
- Start>Run>format C:\
- Attack dogs, preferably rabid.
- Use any version of Microsoft Frontpage to create your site. (This won’t prevent people from viewing your source, but no one will want to steal it.)
- Don’t put your pages on the web.
