There are some products that claim to compile your HTML thus
protecting it from prying eye - Just google "compile HTML" and
peruse through the results.
That said, if you are concerned about your HTML code, I say STOP writing
web pages and stick to filePro. Your true concern should lie on you
server side scripting or your CGI scripts. HTML is nothing anyone would
be interested. Except of course for the very newbies that have no clue
and even then they are likely to take advantage of pages written by pros
(since you are using front page 2K2, hints me you are not a pro - no
offense intended).
In the other hand, if you are worried because you are posting hidden
fields
and are concerned about revealing this content, you are then using the
wrong approach.
In summary, if you are worried about your HTML code, you should not
write
web pages. If you are posting sensitive data with your HTML and hope to
keep it from intruders, you are doing something wrong.
In your defense, millions others have asked this question before you and
millions more will ask it again.
