| This is not true with the latest version of Internet Explorer, the 2.0
| Beta. Anyway, with any caching browser, the documents coming down are
| in the cache if you know where to find them. Basically, there is no way
| to hide the source of an HTML document, because the HTML must be loaded
| to the user's local machine so her browser can interpret it.
|
| Hope this helps,
