RE: Email Addresses on Websites - 2/1/2006 16:23:41
Yes, true, it will not open the URL for the small percentage of users with JS disabled but the email can still be seen by the "human" eye, but can't be interpreted by a robot.
As for your example - Robots have long been easily able to interpret both hex and HTML encoded characters, after all, it's a perfectly accepted standard for contructing URL's and that's why they work as they do and also why robots will still find your address using your example method.
Cheers

RE: Hide Email Addresses on Websites (prevent Spam) - 2/1/2006 16:43:09
I'm not sure how useful this is.. Never used it...
<SCRIPT TYPE="text/javascript">
<!--
emailE=('yourname@' + 'youremailaddress.com')
document.write('<A href="mailto:' + emailE + '">' + emailE + '</a>')
//-->
</script>
This is the super paranoid version...
<SCRIPT TYPE="text/javascript">
<!--
emailE='yourname'
emailE=(emailE + '@' +' youremailaddress.com')
document.write('<A href="mailto:' + emailE + '">' + emailE + '</a>')
//-->
</script>
