While I was searching a website that helps me to obfuscate my html source.
I found this website.
http://snapbuilder.com/code_snippet_generator/obfuscate_html_source_code/
Do you guys think this website is reliable?
I am now learning about front-end stuff, so I am not sure this helper might have some harmful code.
Thank you
Do not do this, it will simply make your site slow, and if they have Javascript disabled your site will not function at all. Not to mention the fact that as soon as this script is executed they will still be able to see the HTML via the dev tools in any browser.
tl;dr DO NOT DO THIS

I found a some MIT-licensed CSS I would like to use for my web app. I've been reading that malicious css can be injected into websites (source: Can Malicious Code Be Executed From A CSS File?) to launch a cross-site-scripting type of attack.
Here's my question:
I'm wondering if it is possible for malicious css to infect my webserver with malware, and if so, what would be the tell-tale signs of malice in that kind of css that I should look out for?
Short answer: Yes.
Long answer: You should always read and own the code you are copy-pasting. It’s also a good clean code practice to fix “smelly” code. You should check for any links and suspicious css. Do not just publish a code before testing it yourself; ie. visiting the pages yourself like a user/visitor of the website. This way you can be sure to avoid any malicious css code.
I'm trying to figure out how to program a website that looks very similar to http://www.renthop.com/.
I'm new to web coding, so I'm not really sure where to start. For example, is it Java or HTML? Or both? I really like how its setup, the responsiveness and smoothness of it. I just want to make sure I start off in the right direction in terms of choosing the right language etc.
If anyone has any idea of what this is based on it would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks - KC
The server-side code is PHP, the front-end is built off of the jQuery and jQuery-UI javascript libraries and a series of third-party plugins. The final product is a dynamic HTML application.
Do you want to launch your website? If so, creating a website from HTML would only make a website on your local hard drive, not public. You're going to need a domain name and hosting to make it public.
HTML is a markup language for formatting websites, but you can still create a website out of it. Not public, as I said above.
CSS is rulesets for telling the browser how to display the HTML formatted content. It is also not a programming language in the same way HTML is, although it can be a lot more powerful.
Javascript is a programming language. You use it to make the website interactive. Get Firebug or a similar add-on for Firefox, or just right click and 'Inspect Element' in Chrome to see the javascript for more detail on what javascript does.
AJAX is an extension of javascript to get data from the web server and update the page with it, without having to refresh the page.
PHP is code commonly used server side to interact with the filesystem and databases and output HTML. You can also use python, perl, .NET and a handful of other languages/frameworks to do this.
MySQL is a database.
So I take this class, and I'm way ahead of everyone else and a lot of people steal code from my website, I have already disabled right clicking but it's rather easy to get around this, is their any way to stop people from being able to view my source code?
tl;dr: Nope.
You could look into obfuscation, as well as CSS & JS minification.
"If you steal from one author, it’s plagiarism; Steal from many, it’s art."
No, if someone wants it, they will get it, you can make it harder but, you will just alienate your users from normal functionality, focus on your backend code.
If they steal your code, your lector will hopefully notice, either way they only hurt themselves.
Afaik the only way to hide your source code is if you put it on the server-side.
It is not possible from hiding client-side source code from users - sorry.
One suggestion would be stopping the user from right-clicking but that might cause you more problems...
You could render the html pages server side and convert them into images which get sent to the client. You could then have some image maps that handle clicking on the various locations.
There isn't a perfect solution (100% bullet proof) to protect your JavaScript code on the client side, however there are some tools on the market that can help you to protect your code:
Code Compression/Minification (Usually don't protect the code)
Google Closure (Free)
Uglify JS (Free)
Code Obfuscation/Compression/Minification
JScrambler (Paid, but is on my opinion the best one on the market)
Jasob (Paid)
Stunnix (Paid, it seems to be outdated)
Hope this answers your question!
I use FrontPage for two different tasks; authoring html help and authoring a couple of websites. The websites don't require a lot of stuff -- they are there to disseminate a bit of information to a couple of small audiences.
FrontPage has been quick and easy for these tasks. WYSIWYG is good for these jobs and I like being able to click on links to quickly bring up other pages in the editor.
I've been exploring all sorts of options. tools that work online such as Kompozer make editing the html help difficult (at least, I haven't found a way around) and other html-level tools are just too much work. Tried nVu, Kompozer, Aptama, Komodo, Bluefish and so far, unless I'm missing something, I'm not sold on any of them.
I'm about to take a look at SeaMonkey but wondering if anybody has any recommendations. Or should I go back and look at those other tools again -- maybe I missed something?
Notepad++
I think the natural upgrade path would be Microsoft Expression Web.
People still use FrontPage?
I switched a couple of years back to DreamWeaver and never looked back.
Something to consider is that you could deploy these sites as wikis (which don't have to be publically editable) and edit them directly on the web in your browser. This would give you the ability to click around and do pretty much wysiwyg edits. It would also make it easier to maintain larger collections of data and to make new pages. You also don't really have to do any HTML at all because wikis mostly come pre-HTMLed (and CSSed and Javascripted), you just need to fill in the content.
I should note that this won't work if your webpages are deployed statically on a restrictive shared hosting account, but even most shared hosting supports installing things like wikis these days, so hopefully this is something you can look into.
I should also note that this probably isn't the best way to do local HTML help files, but if the HTML help is online, this is probably still a good choice.
I'm making this community wiki so others can add links to other wikis if they like or add more info on why you might want to or not want to use a wiki for this purpose.
Some wikis to consider:
MediaWiki - The wiki behind wikipedia
MoinMoin - Implemented in Python and popular in that community.
TiddlyWiki - Implemented in Javascript and runs on a single page. This is probably the most different wiki that's out there. Some love it, some hate it.
NVU and Kompozer both are best suited for you. NVU is my personal choice. Choose your poison. :)
FrontPage has been replaced by SharedPoint Designed in the Office suite.
You could also use Microsoft Expression Web if you can have it.
Drewamweaver or MS's Visual Studio/Web Developer Express will do the trick. They're both overkill (especially MS's tools).
I also think MS has (free) HTMLHelp. It's out there, but I don't know if it'll produce the files you need.
It depends on what kind of pages you are designing. If you are using Adobe Flash, Dreamweaver would be the best option but I would recommend "Microsoft Visual Web Developer Express". I am currently using it and totally love it from the bottom of my heart.
I'd say Dreamweaver, but last time I looked there was still bloated code, not as bad as the MX days mind.
Smashing Magazine has a list of WYSIWYG tools that would be worth a look :
http://www.smashingmagazine.com/2008/05/06/25-wysiwyg-editors-reviewed/
I persuaded my friend to ditch Dreamweaver for NetBeans, took a week or so but I got a pint out of that :)
You might look into Aptana (http://aptana.org) which should provide everything you need. I think it even has a WYSIWYG editor, though I would really recommend learning html instead.
I would use Notepad++ for the simpler things, and Dreamweaver when working with other Adobe products. Notepad++ is simple and has a lot of great features. Dreamweaver is huge and will take some getting used to.
Try dokuwiki. I've implemented a wiki/manual/documentation for my app in a week. It's very simple n easy installing. You just need PHP, no database (mysql), the information is stored on files. Give it a try.
My wiki implemented wiki doku: wiki.vigo.com.br
Microsoft Visual Web Developer Express perhaps? http://www.microsoft.com/express/vwd/
Works well, and it's free!
Something similar to FrontPage is Adobe Contribute. It does cost $199, but if you're looking for something as simple as FrontPage, it may be a good option for you.
A freelancer web designer I work with will setup clients who want to make simple HTML edits to their sites with it and they've all been pretty happy. They're all non-technical people.
Dreamweaver is good, but however using the WYSIWYG may have problems getting consistency when viewing between IE, firefox and safari.
I am beginner in HTML and CSS. I just designed web site and tried to validate but my HTML end up having some "geovisit();"
and it wont validate.
I do not know how to get rid of it.
Help me?
Thank you

A quick Google search for geovisit suggests that the non-validating code is being added by your hosting provider. It looks like this problem may actually be specific to Yahoo!, which has an option to disable that "feature". I suggest you read this forum thread on the problem.
That's usually Yahoo (or other hosting providers) sticking javascript on your page without your knowing. In Yahoo's case you should be able to turn it off if you dig through the settings.
