Hi Experts,

I put a Javascript into a JS file,and refered it in a HTML file.

This Javascript includes sensitivity informationsuch as the
Next page Path and File Name,
some result that will be stored in Array,
and Logic.

I know people can get this JS file information by choosing View Source Code or Download this JS file via Save As page option. so

How do i protect the JS file source?

Any idea will be appreciated!:thumbsup:

Thanks,
Imdadhusen

I Think it's not possible to restrict JS file from downloading, You can have another alternate option to store sensitive data rather then JS.

See THIS[^] thread which might be useful for you.
