Re: [OT]: how to protect e-mail on website?

["Pete Shew" <pslists@xxxxxxxxx>]

I use PHP to obfuscate the email address (could be done by hand) and
Javascript to rebuild the mailto. On some pages I put a graphic @ to make
screen scraping difficult. Any visible email addresses are put in as hex
codes.

function MyMailTo(who)
{
newwho = "" ;
for (i=who.length-1; i>=0; i--)
{
newwho += who.substr(i,1) ;
}
mail = "mailto:"; +
newwho ;
mail = mail.replace(/=/, "@") ;
mail = mail.replace(/~/g, ".") ;
document.location=mail ;
}

<li>e-mail <a href=eMail
onclick="MyMailTo('ten~tenretnimooz=7zmot');return
false;">&#116;&#111;&#109;&#122;&#55;<img
src="/images/at1.gif"
border="0">&#122;&#111;&#111;&#109;&#105;&#110;&#116;&#101;&#114;&#110;&#101
;&#116;&#46;&#110;&#101;&#116;</a></li>
