I'm making a website, as some of you maybe already know... it's here:

http://www.everest.free-shells.com.ar/~thekinoko/

I'd like to make some news submission system so I can submit news/whatever without having to edit the page.


What I'm looking for is a way to protect Java script files so that the user can't see them, but they must remain accessible to the navigator. Is there a way to do that?

By the way, I can't use PHP

No, as the browser can't see them then.

There's some forms of code obfuscation but I don't know any off the top of my head.

But that's still not perfect, it just makes the code harder to understand. People can still decipher it.

Since otherwise, there'd be no way for the browser to understand it.

Another question would be why you need JavaScript for a news system (updating news without manually editing the HTML can easily be done with serverside scripting like PHP or even includes), and why you need it to be unreadable

Even in JavaScript, all it'd take to include news data in a page is a little bit of Ajax, but that's still not the best way to do it unless you want to load different things on the same page without reloading everything ...


But yep, as said above, the most you can do is to make the code hard to understand (single letter names, no spacing, a bit of string conversion and eval())

He said he couldn't use PHP before.

You could try putting your news in XML files, and then having the web page display the XML. I think that can be done through Javascript, but PHP would be better for that.

Or if the server supports it (likely enough as it's a simple builtin Apache module), you can use serverside includes, which go like this and require no other coding:

<!--#include virtual="news.html"-->

That's how I did it on my site before I found out I could use PHP

I'm going to try that out when I find some free time.

Thank you

Why is all of your content stored in the Javascript file? Why not use Javascript to selectively show or hide <div>s instead?

That would also work much better with Acmlm's suggestion.

Protip: don't use javascript for everything. Not all of us want to have javascript enabled at all times, you know.

Working off of that, you could invert Acmlm's suggestion. Instead of importing the page content, create a separate page for each and only import the header and footer.

You'll need more files, but you can do it without Javascript.

It's temporary.
I'm going to put the news/downloads/all in list files.

But I'd like to make some interface so I can submit them easily from the site. As you already know, I don't want all the morons to post stupid stuff, so it would ask for username/password.

Ofcourse I don't want people to be able to figure out how the thing works by looking at the java script...

So you're basically saying that you want to code something like a simple messageboard...

...but using only Javascript?

I am just going to state this now. Using only javascript even encrypted will get your site hacked. If a password is there people will find it.

If you want secure, learn something server-side.

Just my two cents, goodnight.

I knew it. I'm in need of PHP or something.

I'm going to discuss that with the hosting staff...

"You don't have permission to access /~thekinoko/ on this server."

I guess that's one way to protect your site

He's gotta protect it from traffic entirely, you know.
