Yes, encoded HTML would be easily extracted by spiders. javascript would not, unless it's a well-known function...in which case they might take the time to build a template for that function into the spider and thereby extract and reassemble the pieces of the email address. A good reason to write your own function to obscure email addresses rather than using someone else's.
