We get quite a lot of people asking about keeping mail addresses out of the hands of harvesters.

Several methods have been put on here in the past, some work and some don't.

Here's another method

Can we be sure this isn't an email harvester?

Oh ye of little faith. [:D]

You can never be sure but I've used it for one address and there's been no spam in 3 months.

Of course, there's nothing to stop you using a graphics package to achieve the same effect if you're worried. Type in a rubbish email and generate it to see what the result is and then tweak the code and set up your own image.

Check out e_cloaker -- I think it's free. It's a little program you download and run locally, which turns your email link into Unicode that supposedly email harvesters don't bother to decrypt.
One place to download it is here: http://www.snapfiles.com/get/ecloaker.html

Heres a simple script  from javascriptsource.com that I use all the time, so far so good.

<!-- Begin
user = "username";
site = "yoursite.com";

document.write('<a href=\"mailto:' + user + '@' + site + '\">');
document.write(user + '@' + site + '</a>');
// End -->
</SCRIPT>

I was using code like that for awhile until I was informed than not everyone can run javascript . . . I'm not sure if that's really true or not, but switched to e_cloaker because4 it works for everyone. (As far as I know.)

Some people turn Javascript off.

If there's another way to do it then use that.

It's true that not everyone has Javascript - it's also true that some of the anti spam cloaking techniques have big accessibility issues.

Have a look at this link for a technique that should work and be accessible [sm=angel.gif]
