okay so someone explain me this.
if my webpage has php code, the visitor cant see it, bc (from my understanding) php is executed server side so the code does not need to be sent to the visitor's machine, only whatever return value(s), if any.
but javascript is executed in a visitor's browser. so i feel like, all the code should be readily attainable, just like the html or css markup.
but if i try to pull up some corpo.com/feedmeyourdata.js i get like some js code and then a lot of unicode gibberish which i assume is binary.
why can one not see the js code that is being executed on their own machine?

in reply to Bedlam Steps • • •could you explain "base64 encoded"? i would understand that in the context of numerical representation but not code/syntax.
