Email Address Protector Protect your email address fron harvesto

As I was working on a sub domain for my new site I decided to protect the email addresses on the site with a simple javascript to prevent harveters from grabbing them and flooding the mail box with spam.

Hadn't seen the script in the forum yet so I thought I'd share it.

Change the information in blue to yours and place this code where you want the link to show. Left as is no line decloration will appear under the link. If you want the link underlined then change none to: underline

<script language="JavaScript"><!--

username = "usernameHere";

siteURL = "siteURLHere";

document.write('<a href=\"mailto:' + username + '@' + siteURL + '\"style="text-decoration: none;"> Contact Us</a>');

// End -->

</script>

It might be a little better if you convert ESCAPE that javascript or to convert every character to a char(...) / chr (...) value.

Please explain more clearly... thanks

I think he means encode each into a chr value rather than straight text.

Perhaps this is what he was saying?

<script language="JavaScript"><!--

purpose = "mailto:";

username = "usernameHere";

siteURL = "siteURLHere";

linkName = "Contact Us";

document.write('<a href=\"'+purpose+username+'@' + siteURL + '\"style="text-decoration: none;"> '+linkName+'</a>');

// End -->

</script>

This script works the same and I guess it would be a little bit more secure
