If you are concerned about the content being hidden (like you suggest above about encoding), then you shouldn't be sending the text to the browser (where it is freely available for sniffing, no matter how hard you try to obscure it).John-- John PeacockDirector of Information Research and TechnologyRowman & Littlefield Publishing Group4501 Forbes BoulevardSuite HLanham, MD 20706301-459-3366 x.5010fax 301-429-5748-------------------------------------------------------------This message is sent to you because you are subscribed to the mailing list <WebDNA-Talk@talk.smithmicro.com>.To unsubscribe, E-mail to: <WebDNA-Talk-off@talk.smithmicro.com>To switch to the DIGEST mode, E-mail to <WebDNA-Talk-digest@talk.smithmicro.com>Web Archive of this list is at: http://webdna.smithmicro.com/
