Hey, Bj, why not just use one of the obfuscators available online? There are tons of them. Google on "email address obfuscate" and you will find everything from the very simple to the quite complex. Nothing is perfect, of course, but almost all of these will handle most of the harvesting robots out there. Of course, for 100% coverage I don't think anything short of Turing testing will do, and even that can be obviated by a human doing manual collection. Not likely, but possible.

Cheers,
Scott

Ta for the response

This really sounds like a place where you should
use a contact form

Yebbut, sometimes a mailto: is still what's wanted, a contact form is a good
way of getting offensive comments sent to you pretty much anonymously with
little effort by the sender but a mailto: has to come from a working email
address, which takes a little more trouble to disguise. However it's pretty
annoying when the address gets collected for spamming. I wondered if the
page could have a dummy href address for the mailto: till the visitor was
actually about to click on the link, thus hiding it from bots


Seems to work, but needed a bit of tinkering

You could get a collection of all the links on the page

In theory the document.anchors[] collection is that very thing. Prior to
NT4/IE5 I think this was empty but maybe we can finally forget NS2 and IE3?


Your code gave me a few ideas and I may now rewrite mine to look more
elegant (I know it's really, really time I got to grips properly with DOM
stuff, old fashioned JS and I'm fine but... I will browse to that link you
gave and see if it will go in my head.)


Thanks again, I did get it to work in NS and IE but it's too messy to be
pleased with at the moment.
