AFAIK, if you use normal generation techniques, the end users are always going to be able to see something because HTML is simply a text stream interpreted by your browser. It's stored locally so the end user can view what's being interpreted any time they want.

You could do a couple a things to make it harder. Create Javascript or VBScript files on the backend that generate the HTML stream for you. In your main page, simply have references to it. Here is an example from the MS site:

< script language="JavaScript" src="/library/toolbar/toolbar.js" >< /script >
< script language="JavaScript" src="/library/toolbar/en-us/globalHP9.js" >< /script >
< script language="JavaScript" src="/library/toolbar/en-us/localHP9.js" >< /script >

The code within these Javascript files is initially hidden from the end user. There is nothing to prevent the end user from typeing this URL in and downloading the JS file. They can then view it from a text editor, but it does add one layer of security that the casual browser won't understand.

To truly hide the source, you could use a CGI/ISAPI program to generate the HTML stream and send it to the end user. The end user won't be able to see the logic behind it and they will not be able to download the CGI program. However, they will still be able to look at the HTML generated by it.

HTH.
