Hiding JavaScript File

[patna_in]

Hi, ppl i need to know is it possible to hide any JavaScript file to view from users ? I found somewher they r using <!-- --> tag. But it can be useful for old browser as mentioned. How can i do that with new browsers ?

well: it will be pretty hard to do that as you still need it in the html source... :/ however you might wont to encode the line that loads the JS file.. it might help... there is some functiont that encodes the whole string into the line of symbols like %20%3C and so on... simply dont remember that function...

There's a possibility with Apache.
Example:

Code: Select all

<FilesMatch "\.(js|css)$">
   Order allow,deny
   Deny from all
</FilesMatch>

However, once loaded, this files will always stay as temp files in the users' machine.

which means: not a good solution im not sure that there is a 100% good solution for that... everything has its downsides

I remeber a way... linking over HTTP.

Code: Select all

<?php

header('Link: <http://www.yoursite.com/js/main.js>; rel=whatever_this_rel_is');

?>

If i remember right, with Firefox, if multiple links are made, only the last one will survive!
Example:

Code: Select all

<?php

header('Link: <http://www.yoursite.com/css/main.css>; rel=stylesheet');
header('Link: <http://www.yoursite.com/js/main.js>; rel=whatever_this_rel_is');

?>

So, like i said, the css file wont be loaded!

But as i refer that side no content is viewable. When i followed the link one by one i found a cab file. I don't know what that cab file for. Can i put my site in a cab file and then view from there ???

[Alexei Kubarev]

What do you mean no content is viewable?!

I can see the whole code.. the frameset, then each frame has it's content, containing Javascript, HTML and CSS
Nothing extraordinary there, with exception that he page itself has 152 warnings and it looks really weird..

How can u do that? When I try to view the page source it shows a few lines nothing else.

[Alexei Kubarev]

you need to view the source of the selected frame..

Firefox makes its easier as rightclicking in the frame and selecting This Frame will give you all you need.. in IE you will need to right click in the frame and select view Source..some times it shows the frame source, sometimes it doesnt..
