RE: [OT] email addresses on web pages again

["Paul Gale" <groups@xxxxxxx>]

Yes - Flash would do it. I doubt any Harvester can convert flash text or a
graphic to a real mailto - well not yet! Only possible problem is if the
real viewer doesn't have flash player - but that needs to be dealt with at
the start (and they can't see the main nav menu if not anyway).

It might work.. although I notice a few lines above the Java code you
have this:

<td colspan="2" valign="top"
class="address"><p align="left"><a
href="mailto:info@xxxxxxx";><script
language="JavaScript">

is that meant to be there?

If so, then it will still be harvested!

How about a small flash animation that contains the link internally (ie
nothing on the site itself just the flash anim)?

That would work surely?

Some talk on how to put an email address on a web page without it
getting harvested by spam harvesters/spiders/webgrabbers. I've used a
Javascript method to build a mailto link on the following page:

Can anyone comment how successful this may or may not be?

(BTW this site is still under design)

Ta,
