Anybody know any methods of hiding the source code on a website?

I'm thinking about designing a website to sell, (after I brush up on my css)
and id like to offer up a non static preview, without exposing all the work that went into it.

or is a jpg still the best way to go?

What do you mean by non-static? If it's PHP or something like that, it never gets sent outside the server. It's only the resulting HTML that gets sent and there's no real way to hide that. You shouldn't even bother trying.

Depending on how you did it, it might have been using frames. The code for the outer frameset is very small. It's the code within the frames that's interesting. It's still very easy to get that code.
