Hi,

I am writing a complex webapplication using HTMl5, CSS,JavaScript and calling a c# webservice using AJAX. I don't want it to get ripped off, and I'm wondering if there's any way to protect the source from being viewed in the clientside.

I am particularly concerned about the JavaScript, and I'm wondering if I can protect it by hosting it in seperate files that cannot be viewed directly.

How about just thinking logically a bit? :-)

Read these words aloud: "client side". Don't you hear your answer already? :-)

If something is on the client side, already on client side, the already client has a full access to it, it's too late to "protect" anything. What protection can you talk about? You can only make the code hard to understand, that's all. This is called "obfuscation". There are special tools to obfuscate JavaScipt code on the fly, before it leaves the server part.
