Spamproof Email

[Cru54d3r]

Saw the article and thought I should implement it as it shouldnt be too hard .. then found the other thread with the "encoded script email" (Link) .. prob is i had previously used an ahref link with onmouseover and onmouseout to mask the email address in the status bar (as I think it looks nicer) .. and I aint sure as to how id go about doing it now ..

Thx in advance for any help

I would avoid javascript to hide email addresses as people may have javascript disabled. Try doing this instead

<a href="mailto:info@mywebsite.com">my email </a>

If any web browser can decipher the encoded email surely it wont stop it being deciphered by an email spam bot?

Thats true, another simple way is to break up the email address

<script type="text/javascript">
  var p  = "mailto:"; //prefix
  var a = "part1";                                  //address
  var d  = "@mywebsite.com";              //domain
</script>

<a href="#" onclick="document.location.href=p + a + d">my email</a>

Why doesnt this work??

function email() { 
var mail = "mailto:"; 
var username = "bob"; 
var at = "@"; 
var hostname = "domain"; 
var country = ".co.uk"; 
document.write(mail + username + at + hostname + country); 
}

The above code placed in an external js .. and then on the html page:

<a href="javascript:email()">bob</a>

Surely the function email should change to a mailto email addy that then gets linked inside the anchor??

Thx

function email()
{ 
  var mail = "mailto:"; 
  var username = "bob"; 
  var at = "@"; 
  var hostname = "domain"; 
  var country = ".co.uk"; 
  document.location.href = mail + username + at + hostname + country;
} 

Use that instead. his is because you cannot write to the document after it has been displayed, unless you use innerHTML etc.
