No.

You can use Javascript to prevent right clicking, but no matter what you do, when you view a page online, the browser downloads the page onto your hard disk - so you will always have a copy of the source code of every page you go to.

The only way is to encrypt the HTML - there are scripts to do this -but that slows down page loading.

THere is no "real" way to hide the source code... Only some "tricks" that will prevent the normal users with little knowledge from viewing it... But basically, you can't hide the source code on a HTML page.

You can just right-click and View Source in the frame. If you disable right-click, the framed HTML page will still be on your hard disk, in Temporary Files.

It is not a VB3 engine, just a parsed copy!
