    Linking Java Script

    How can I include a 'link' to javascript in a web page so all the javascript
    code won't be readily accessible in the source view? I have a bit of code
    and would rather not include it. with the html code. Thanks.

      <script type="text/javascript" src="URLToTheJS File.js"></script>

      It still doesn't stop any one with the slightest knowledge of the web or there
      browser to see your code.

      view-source: URLToTheJSFile. js in your address bar.

          It depends on what you mean with "not include it". You *must*
          include *any* script code that should have the chance to work,
          only the methods of inclusion are different. You could use

          <head>
          ...
          <script src="$URI" type="text/javascript"></script>
          ...
          </head>

          to link an external script file containing the code.

          But doing this only for the purpose of obscurity is nonsense. People
          who want to get their hands on the code are usually smart enough to do
          so. (Those who do not want to type the URI in the Location Bar just use
          a bookmarklet.) The others are to stupid to re-use the code or simply
          do not care about it.

          Security by obscurity does not work. Your scripts are a work of mind
          and as such copyrighted by law in most countries. You should instead
          emphasize that fact (in a comment) and also include a license agreement
          that specifies to what extent your code can be modified, re-used, and
          distributed so that others can draw advantage from it or even can
          improve it (so if the code is good your name spreads throughout the
          hacker[1] community). See also: GNU General Public License (GPL).[2]

              Are you actually as stupid as you appear to be at times?
