I have a webpage that is dynamic and I need to find a way to hide the
source code so that somebody looking at the source code can't find the
hidden Javascript that would tell the viewer where the hidden link is.


I have tried :

HTMLGuardian
HTMLProtector
Webpage Protector 

But they seem to only work with static webpages.

I am looking for either a programming way to hide the code or some
third party software that will do it for me.

It may depend on what dynamic format you're using, PHP, ASP,
JSP (Java Server Page), Microsoft .net or CGI/Perl.


AeroTags TagsLock Pro, available as a free download from 
SharewareConnection, can help with some formats, and is
$29.85 to purchase:

"TagsLock Pro provides an easy way to encrypt HTML files,
 web pages that use JavaScript and ASP (Active Server Pages)."
http://www.sharewareconnection.com/aerotags-tagslock-pro.htm


The "Encrypt HTML source code" software will encrypt your
HTML, ASP, JavaScript, VBScript, SHTML and CSS source code":

You might also want to try this script technique from 
CGI Script.net, though I don't know if it will work for
other than index.htm or html:

Let me know where this takes you...

P.S.

More scripts here, on Affordable-Website-Design:
http://www.affordable-website-design.me.uk/javascript_misc.html

It is useless trying prevent the source from the user. It can be done
by using simple scripts itself. But you must understand that the user
may even prevent scripts in his browser. Basically Web Designing is to
share things and not to hide things. So, please do not try to hide the
source. Give it to all. Let them give their suggestions.

if you really so concern about the transparency of your script, but do
not wish to add complexity to your code ... i recommend you to
copyright them.

Other alternative will be depends on the level of transparency you
wish to have, on data or algorithm.

On data:
(1.)Use server-side generated "javascript" like this (assuming that
you are using JSP+Servlet):
<script language="JavaScript" src="javascript_servlet?arg=user_id_001"></script>

(2.)Encrypt data and decrypt them using server-side script.

(3.)Write the scripts in AJAX, generated by server as well (similar like method 1).

(4.)Write your script as complex as possible, A->B->C->D->E and do
some minor information hiding using server-side or encryption. This
will not guarantee 100% hiding but will at least need some effort for
sniffers to explore your codes.

Hope all these helps.

my mistake ... method 3 and 4 will be on protecting algorithm.
