HTML Guard 3.2.1

Today we released HTML Guard, version 3.2.1. This version does not add any new features; it simply corrects some minor problems occurring with processing pages that include server-side script parts (PHP, ASP, etc.) as well as files that contain a UTF-8 BOM.

The full list of changes is available here. To upgrade your copy to version 3.2.1, please download and install the setup package from http://www.htmlguard.com/download/hgsetup.exe.

The update is a free maintenance release for all licensed users of previous 3.x versions.

HTML Guard 3.2.0

I’m pleased to announce the release of HTML Guard Version 3.2.0. This update is free for all registered users of the previous 3.x versions. To upgrade, just download and install the setup file from here.

Additional “Page-napping” Settings

The program now lets you specify exactly what you want to happen when it restricts your page from being framed or used by another website.

You can either provide text to be displayed in a message box, or you may enter some JavaScript code that will be executed by the browser.

Integrated Crash Reporter

Another addition to HTML Guard is a function for sending bug reports when errors crash the program.

I really hope you never have to deal with this function!

HTML Guard Version 3.1.0 Released

I’m pleased to announce that today we are releasing version 3.1.0 of HTML Guard. Two of the most notable new features are detailed below, while the full list of changes is available here.

JavaScript Code Compression

With this new version of HTML Guard, you can compress the JavaScript code in your web pages. This makes the code less readable for others and reduces the time necessary to download the page content.

HTML Guard - Compress Javascript Code

For example, when you let HTML Guard compress the anti-right click code presented in a previous article, the program will cut the code down from 39 lines to the following:

<script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript"><!--
var onlyOnImages=false;var isIE5=document.all&&document.getElementById;
var isMoz=!isIE5&&document.getElementById;function cancelContextMenu(e){
return false;}function onContextMenu(e){if(!onlyOnImages||(isIE5&&
event.srcElement.tagName=="IMG")||(IsMoz&&e.target.tagName=="IMG")){
return cancelContextMenu(e);}}if(document.getElementById){
document.oncontextmenu=onContextMenu;}
--></script>

Backup to Zip

Another new feature in HTML Guard Version 3.1.0 is the ability to store backup copies in a zip file.

HTML Guard - Zip Backup

Zip compression helps save storage space and keeps all your backup files in a single archive.
