FYI, these are half measures though. Javascript is a client side technology so if it isn't sent to the client... it won't run, period. No exceptions. So your visitors HAVE to be able to download it or it won't run. There are some techniques for masking the script (replacing the code with entities, etc.) but again, by definition the browser has to be able to understand it so I wouldn't call any of these techniques encryption by any stretch of the imagination. If it were truly encrypted and secure, the browser couldn't read it and the script wouldn't run. So whatever you do to mask it, it's still quite easy for someone to reverse the process in the same way the browser does in order to gain access to it. This is a JS fact of life. If you want to keep your code away from your visitors, you HAVE to do the programming server side where visitors will receive the output from the programming and not the program itself.

And why is it that the people whose code is so revolutionary that it needs hiding are always the ones who don't know how to hide it :)

ROFLMAO! OK, what's funny is not the quote (though it's great), or the four posts before it reaming on the guy trying to implement one of the most annoying practices ever introduced.
It's the guy who shows up at the end of the thread and asks....
