hey guys,
im having trouble with some javascript code in one of my homework assignments. The code works fine in other browsers except internet explorer 8. The javascript is a email scrambler so email harvesters can’t steal the emails. The code is split up between two files. Most of the code is in my html file and part is inside the spam.js file.
The weird thing is this code works in firefox, chrome, safari and opera. But not internet explorer 8. I haven’t tested the code in older versions of IE, but im guessing that it wont work there either.
