You could disable right-click and open the page in a popup without menu buttons ... offcourse, people can always look at the source of the page that called the popup, open it in a sepperate explorer and use the menu to look at the source, so there is no perfectly safe way to prevent it

There is one thing more you can do then idaze said:
I didn't test it but that must be possible:

1. in the start window write a script for "onload" which disables adressbar, menu, and writes something useless in the status bar.

2. now before opening any other htm-file in the same browser-window or in any new, write that what I said above as a property for the new file or window before opening.

I hope that works as I imagine it and helps you!

There is NO WAY to disable right click, for javascript at least. I have gotten around it. I see these people using the 'oops cant do that here' scripts, i just hit ok and right click right as it goes away and the browser doesnt have enough time to retrigger the right click prevent so it pops up the menu. who cares if they look at your source, when u post on the internet its basically open source in a sense, weither you want them to take it or not, they will. There is a way using php probably, you call in other pages that have the actual text, so when they view source it looks like
<include 'http://www.website.com/cgi-bin/content_of_site.php>
or so.
just an idea. its what big corperations do to theirs when they are greedy about their site. look at hotmail.com.

Of course you can disable rightclick!!!!!!
I knew a better way of doing this but I've forgotten it,
but here is a stupid example that also can disable (any click) on the body:

<!DOCTYPE = html
PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML1.0 Strict//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml/1-Strict.dtd">

<html>
<!-- ------------- head -->
<head>
<title>disable rightclick</title>
<script>
function clic()
{!write HERE what you want the script to do eg. reload the page
!note that leftclick is also an "mousedown" event!!}

function button()
{
window.open(location="http://www.yahoo.com")
}
</script>
</head>
<!-- ------------- body -->
<body onmousedown="clic()" >
<button onmousedown="button()">click me!</button>
</body>
</html>

this is all nice and stuff, but it still doesn't prevent people from viewing the code if they want to

what do you want to hide so much??

use ASP or PHP and execute your scripts on the server side so that they're turned into HTML before the user ever gets a chance to see them.
