You'd use it like:
safeEmailBold("james.laugesen", "gmail.com", "LAUGESEN, ", "James");
Notice the 4 values, 1 per parameter of that function...
So "LAUGESEN, " is what you want to be bold, and "James" is the non-bold.
Also I think it'd be worth a couple of hours of your time to just play through the JS tutorials on www.w3schools.com.
JS is just programming, so it'll be knowledge you'll undoubtly be glad to have and I'm sure you're enjoy it - since you're nerdy enough to be posting the WSG after all =8-P

Hi James,
Yes I did notice the extra parameter, but I don't understand what or how it works.
Do I need to add additional script to make that parameter work. Yes as I said before I'm
a 'dummy' when it comes to JS.

Thanks for that, unfortunately it's still not working properly. It bolds the
whole name as well as adding the word 'undefined' after the name which is bold
after i added the css .EmailLink {font-weight:bold;}
I'll wait until you get your "nicer" script working... here's the other half of my script<script type= 'text/_javascript_'>safeEmailBold('shirazman','hotmail.com','BUCHANAN, Mark (Buck) ')</script>
Thanks James

emailLink+='</a>';
document.write(emailLink);
}
But you inspired me to write a "nicer" solution so I'll post a link to that in a minute when I've finished.

Being very new to _javascript_ I have little idea on how to accomplish your
sujestion. My aim is to have just the surname bold. (ie: BUCHANAN)
You sujest I add css to the safemail function. The only css I can add to it and get working
bolds the who name (surname, christian & nick name) [see sample script] If you can
show me how I can just have the surname bold i'd appreciate it others wise I'll have to try
something else.
function safemailbold(name, domain, display) {
displayed=(typeof(display)=="undefined") ? name+"@"+domain : displaydocument.write('<a href="" + name + '@' + domain + ' class="bold">' + displayed + '</a>');
}
Cheers!!

I'd at least do something like:
safemail('shirazman',' hotmail.com','BUCHANAN', 'Mark (Buck)')
and the safemail function does semanticly nice html, with css for the bold'ness.

No it is not deprecated. It is declared in the XHTML 1.0 Strict DTD.

That is not the problem, the problem is the way in which it is used
within the script element.
This explanation applies to HTML:
http://www.htmlhelp.com/tools/validator/problems.html#script
For XHTML, you need to use a CDATA section as I explained in my previous
post. For backwards compatibility (i.e. serving XHTML as text/html) you
should use a combination of both techniques)
