    Is it possible to hide email addresses from spam harvesters in HTML pages? The email address should remain clickable and readable for humans...

    I heard that using javascript to print the email address sometimes helps. something like

    Code:
    document.write('[email protected]')
    
    since most harvesters don't process javascript.

    Email Scrambler!

    I use a little javascript I found at dynamicdrive.com... It's pretty clever as it allows you to pick a word or symbol to use in place of "@" when you enter a "mailto:", but when you click on the "mailto:" link, the javascript replaces your symbol with "@"!... It's rediculously easy to use...

    replace all email addresses in ur website with transparent graphics (gif/png)

    example: http://www.freefm.de/modules.php?name=Content&pa=showpage&pid=12

    and add this little code as image link
    PHP:
    <a href="mailto.php?to=emailaddress&subject=emailsubject"><img src="image.gif" alt="mailme" title="mailme" border="0"></a>
    mailto.php:
    PHP:
    <?php
    $name
    =$_GET['to'];
    $subject=$_GET['subject'];
    // echo "mailto:".$name."@domain.tld?subject=".$subject;
    header("Location: mailto:".$name."@domain.tld?subject=".$subject);
    exit;
    ?>

    hi...

    I'm always using it to encode my email addresses.:eek:
