Ben's right. The only way to keep a user from reading the source code of
your script is not to put scripts on your web pages. If you send the
script over the wire, you've given it to the user, whether our browser
allows you to display it or not. One doesn't even need a browser to read
your scripts, they could just telnet to port 80 on your server and
request the file directly. What you want simply can't be done, and we're
not going to fake it as Microsoft has done.
