preventing spam with javascript

[Mr Blonde]

In an effort to prevent spam to my email addresses i've used a method found here. This is what it generates for 'example@test.com'.

<script type="text/javascript">

/***********************************************
* Encrypt Email script- Please keep notice intact.
* Tool URL: http://www.dynamicdrive.com/emailriddler/
* **********************************************/

var emailarray7244= new Array(101,120,97,109,112,108,101,64,116,101,115,116,46,99,111,109)
var postemail7244=''
for (i=0;i<emailarray7244.length;i++)
postemail7244+=String.fromCharCode(emailarray7244[i])

document.write('<a href="mailto:'+postemail7244+'">+postemail7244+</a>')

</script>

I thought this looked fine so i used it some email addresses but it wasnt untill i checked the source code that i saw it is displayed as

<script type="text/javascript" language="javascript">
document.write('<a href="mailto:'+postemail7244+'">'+postemail7244+'</a>')
</script><a href="mailto:example@test.com">example@test.com</a>

Does this defeat the purpose of going through the whole process in the 1st place???

Your post makes no sense. When you view the source you see exactly what you put in the source. That second block of code you posted is not in your webpage unless you put it there separately from the first block, which doesn't contain your e-mail in plain text anywhere. The page you linked does not give you any code containing your e-mail in plain text.

i just checked the source again and its not there dont know what happened cos i copied and pasted that second code straight from the source and just replaced the email i was using with the example. sorry to stuff u around.. i just thought maybe javascript ran the function and put it into the html 1st
