Preventing Access to HTML Code in WordPress

[claec]

I have a wordpress site on which I am putting an embedded Google spreadsheet behind password protection. I only want the embedded spreadsheet to be viewable and accessible be people with an account and password, and I also don't want to be able to link to it.

Is there a way to format the HTML code used for embedding such that users cannot simply inspect the element and thereby obtain the embedding link?

Short answer: No.

Long answer: you can have the code file that generates the spreadsheet control what information to print out.

Nope. If it appears in my browser, I can inspect the source and see what it is talking to.

What you might do is generate, on demand, a static jpg of the spreadsheet, and display that.
