Ram, be logical: user's Web browser downloads CSS to do rendering. If it is already on client machine, what possibly could stop the user from having this file?

Are your afraid of the competitor who may steel your nice CSS? The good Web design is made by content (99.999%), regular updates, clarity, clear navigation, convenience. Anyone can steal all of the content but not your good reputation.

Manfred, thank you for editing. Probably it's so correct that I did not spot the difference yes... :-)

Like every one said, why? What is the point? You can't hide them from a determined seeker, but you can, atleast, obfuscate javascript code to some degree. See here [^] and here[^]

Solution 1

I don't think you can. For your javascript and css files to be used by your page, you have to allow your users' browsers to download them, therefore you can't hide them in my opinion.

Solution 2

What you can do is minify and obfuscate your javascript and also keep it in a separate file. You can't however keep anybody who is determined to see both the javascript and CSS. You cannot protect the javascript and CSS from being seen. All you can do is make it a little harder.

Still unsure? Leave a comment.

Cheers!

My 5, I added some rationale in my answer.
Obfuscation, yes, can be done, but can't understand the value of it.

Yeah, 'minify and obfuscate' is the only solution for that. 5!
