I am thinking to create an website that generates HTML through a wizard.
Finally, I want to make the users to buy the generated HTML source if they like what they see.

But I don’t want to let the users to steal the HTML, CSS and JS that I use to create the effect they want.

I want a technique which is immune to Firebug and Right Click -> View Page Source.

Any thoughts ?

edit: I remember something about iframes or frameset, but I’m not sure how to fool the browser and Firebug to execute the code without updating their capability of showing that source code. A popup is also a possible solution.

edit 2: html hosted in silverlight ? will you use it ?

    The best thing you can do is to just obfuscate your code. Trying to hide the source is not going to work (for ex: if you disable right click-> view source that doesn’t stop them from using the menu or saving the page or using a shortcut key or writing an app to stream the http request into a file and open that, etc).

    Firstly, depending on what you are doing you can have the HTML code loaded through JS after the page load (AJAX).

    As far as your JS goes:
    Free Obfuscator
    Not Free Obfuscator

    In the end though, there is no stopping someone who really wants to get that source. Even obfuscated code can be rebuilt (though it’s hell on wheels painful depending on how good the obfuscator is).
