You have to be more specific.
I don't know what you are talking about.

If you mean Hiding your HTML code, there is nothing to hide, i don't think you will come up with anything that has not been used before or well documented.

If you want to hide your java scripts, then i suggest you include them as independent java script files as opposed to code in your HTML.

Save as, really only saves your HTML, so we are back to where we started.

Good webdesigners are not worried about any of what you ask. When i run all of my websites, what you see is just the product of multiple PHP preprocessing, and the output is the standard HTML.

Concentrate on real code, not HTML.

I know I'm not actually worried about the code... I just asked just out of curiosity but the saving part is my main concern because a few times layouts ( not the scripts ) have been stolen.

Not really a big issue but just thought I'd ask you guys.

There are javascripts available for that, however, don't know of any. JavaScript just seems the only option.

Mind you everyone is aware fo this problem, however, people that steal designs and table layouts without making any changes, also don't have a good website.

Also, now that there are many PHP Egnines widely available, people just stick to them (More functionality) and their standard templates.

It's just cooler if you have a dynamic website, as opposed to a very nice static one.

That's my 2 cents anyways.

You can't prevent someone gaining access to code which has been downloaded onto their computers - you can try but there's no foolproof way.

If people are ripping off your work then you have a right to defend your ownership of that work. Your designs are copyrighted to you so when you see someone using those designs contact them and tell them to stop. If they don't, find out who their hosts are and tell them to take the site down (most have clauses to allow them to do this in their terms and conditions), pester everyone until it's sorted.
