If I use a JavaScript from a file using the src=myscript.js option can the source code be easily viewed from client browsers (as you would view say the HTML source etc.)?

My hope is that it cannot.

Thanks,

Michael

Michael, the client will not see the .js file contents by viewing source but if they look in their browser cache it will be there. Netscape does name mangling but IE leaves the original name. My experience is you'll need to do server side stuff if you want to truly hide the code.

Code: 
view-source:[URL unfurl="true"]http://www.tek-tips.com/jsource.js[/URL]
