BIG BUG!

I don't know if you noticed, but do the following:

Encypt an external JS file and load the page with it.

So far, so good.

Now SAVE the file to disk... Well, you'll find the Encrypted JS completely DECRYPTED in an external file.

And I only found one workaround, and not one presented by Microsoft...

Learn and share is great - but sometimes I want to encrypt stuff eg. my CV (resume to you yanks) so that only people who I want to see it can do so DHTML and the encoded scripts allow me to make some sections (address phone number etc) viewable only if I have given a password to a prospective employer.

Equally at work on the Intranet I don't want the whole company to see how I code (if it were C VB or Pascal it would be compiled this isn't so with scripts though)

Reading someones code can give a very good picture of the programmer if you know what you are looking for!

What would be even cooler is if the Encoder compressed the javascript in addition to encoding it.

it is at the site. try following the link you provided. it's the second product on the page. it doesn't stand out because the name isn't a link.
