Nope. You can't. Not easily anyway. You could use some encryption routine=20
(such as those used by most VBScript virus creators) to obfuscate your=20
scripts and then a different routine to unobf=FAscate the code, once someone=
=20
calls a  function in your script.

But, hey; You'll loose some of the original ideas about web publishing, and=
=20
no matter how well you try to obfuscate JavaScript, there'll always be=20
people who would be able to unobfuscate your obfucated code, because you=20
have to provide the unobfuscation mechanism somewhere...

If you want to make it truly hard for someone to grab your code, use server=
=20
side scripts. Preferably (if it should be beyond most code snatchers=20
knowledge) compiled ones...
