I don't think it's a big deal that you can't view source. What I do find
silly is that you can't copy and paste from the site itself. That's a VERY
common way for people to pass information along via email, or if you're a
journalist. Taking it away is a bad idea.

Subject: OT: site that can't be copied


Hey All,

A client passed this along to me...

www.thescoutingnews.com

Go to the site and then try and copy and paste anything form on that
screen....or anything on your computer PERIOD.

If you view source you'll see some encrypted JS near the top.

1) view source
2) close that browser that had loaded the page
3) copy the encrypted string of each of the 2 encrypted blocks from the
source
4) do this for each: <cfset myVar1 = urlDecode("the pasted string")>
5) output each variable
6) view source to see what they are up to....pretty slick IMHO

Note that when you output it you'll lose you copy & paste abaility again
until you close the browser.

Comments on this?

I think it's technically cool, but a BAD idea to take control of a users
computer like that.  Isn't Google going to start flagging sites that contain
malicious software?? ;-)

Cheers
