Obscuring an email contact address

Page history last edited by Paul G. Taylor 2 years, 4 months ago

If you put your email address on a web page to enable your readers to contact you, there is a great risk that this email address will be harvested by SPAM-bots and you will be inundated with spam.

 

One method of obscuring the email address from SPAM-bots while leaving it clearly readable and clickable by your readers is made available freely at http://hivelogic.com/enkoder/ [link now obsolete]

 

Here is the code that a SPAM-bot will encounter : --

 

<script type="text/javascript">
//<![CDATA[
<!--
var x="function f(x){var i,o=\"\",l=x.length;for(i=0;i<l;i+=2) {if(i+1<l)o+=" +
"x.charAt(i+1);try{o+=x.charAt(i);}catch(e){}}return o;}f(\"ufcnitnof x({)av" +
" r,i=o\\\"\\\"o,=l.xelgnhtl,o=;lhwli(e.xhcraoCedtAl(1/)3=!35{)rt{y+xx=l;=+;" +
"lc}tahce({)}}of(r=i-l;1>i0=i;--{)+ox=c.ahAr(t)i};erutnro s.buts(r,0lo;)f}\\" +
