    There is no way to hide Javascript programs, but . . .

    If saving Javascript and CSS code as external files, access to them
    will be more difficult. Extra efforts are needed to open those files.
    Please verify.

    Also, I've heard Java and Visual Basic have certifications. Javascript
    is extremely useful. Is there a similar certificate?

    Thanks.

      If someone is savvy enough to want your CSS and script, they will make
      short work of getting it. The extra effort is marginal, and will only
      stop those who are not worth stopping.

          Not really. It is very easy.

          Not aware of one. Java and Visual Basic are lead by Sun and Microsoft.
          Javascript does not have one controller to dream up certification
          schemes.

              What kind of certification? Like Sun certified Java programmer or MS
              certified VB programmer?

              There are certainly companies where you can take courses in HTML and/or
              CSS and/or client-side JavaScript which will at the end give you some
              certificate, e.g. that one here
              <http://www.brainbench. com/xml/bb/common/testcenter/taketest.xml?te stId=1186>

              That is just one example, I am sure there are others, use a search engine.

                  I can verify thats a flawed reasoning.

                  Extra effort in having to do one more step? Yes.
                  Extra effort in excessive effort to prevent it? No way.

                  Yes, you can use signed scripts. They aren't cheap and they won't
                  protect anything.

                      Piece of cake.

                      All that a signed certificate does is proving its authenticity and
                      nothing more. It won't prevent users from seeing your code.

                          There are better reasons for putting javascript and CSS in external
                          files, unless your Web presence consists only of individual pages with
                          no common script or CSS.

                          The method will be reasonably effective at hiding stuff from those who
                          know no more than the one who asked the question. Those who do know
                          more may be interested, but are unlikely to benefit from copying what
                          they find.
