    hiding e-mail addresses

    Hi,
    I need to put on web pages e-mail addresses that should be somehow made readable for user but not to application that scarpe the content of HTML sites. What is the best way for doing this?
    Thanks

    Re: hiding e-mail addresses

    Simply put...you cannot put e-mail in plain text and keep it from being harvested without the use of JavaScript. I tend to build mailing scripts right into my sites instead of visible e-mail addresses.

    You can put a hash in all your e-mails and have a script onload remove it. However, that would require that all users have JavaScript enabled in their browser. Now-a-days...that's very common...so not an issue as it used to be.
    If the post was helpful...Rate it! Remember to use [code] or [php] tags.

    You could make an image of the text and embed that, or (not knowing how good the bad guys are at this!) obfuscate it somehow like this:

    administrator&#64;<!-- lorem ipsum-->mycompany.com

    Use & # 0 0 6 4 ; (without the spaces) instead of @
