How to hide e-mail addresses from spammers
Unfortunately, there are a lot of unscrupulous people who send spam by the thousands each day. Well, here's one way to decrease spam.
Spammers comb HTML page source codes with robots looking for addresses that look like myname@fake.com, and they won't be able to do much with addresses coded using the following java script unless they visit every Web page by hand.
Even if you're not a programmer, you should be able to handle this one. Basically, the code keeps the mailto:, your name, and your domain separate in the HTML file, combining them only when the page is browsed. It will even work with
FrontPage:
<script language=javascript>
<!--
// By Joseph McLean <flux@thecentre.com>
var linktext = "Your link text";
var email1 = "Silverhawk";
var email2 = "ableweb.net";
document.write("<a href=" + "mail" + "to:" + email1 + "@" + email2 + ">" +
linktext + "</a>")
//-->
</script>
To customize, replace "Your link text" with the text you want people to click on. Also, following email1 replace silverhawk with your name (if your e-mail address is JohnDoe@myservice.com, put JohnDoe there). Finally, following email2 replace ableweb.net with the rest of your address.
Implement this code and get rid of a lot of spam!
