Re: neat gimmick I found on the web

[karl shah-jenner <shahjen@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

: Which page has the mailto: code?
the front page, where you have " contact me " down the bottom links in the
html as:

<p><a href="mailto:elf@xxxxxxxx";><font color="6f79d1">contact
me</font></a></p>
  <p>&nbsp;</p>

ANY email harvesting program will find this in a jiffy!


: I personally receive about 75 pieces of spam a day, none of which
: ever arrives in my Eudora mailboxes.  My ISP is very efficient.

spammers are getting craftier by the minute, and they need is a few web
bugs on your machine (mac, linux or otherwise) and you're KNOWN to them :-(


here's another way to pop your 'contact me' details on a web page that's a
little harder for spambots and harvesters to gather..


lets say your email is : NNNNN@xxxxxxxx

this bit below is what yopu bung into your webpage and magically it makes a
real email address out of gibberish!


<SCRIPT><!--
function escramble()
{
 var a,b,c,d,e
 a='<a href=\"mai'
 b='NNNNN'
 c='\">'
 a+='lto:'
 b+='@'
 e='</a>'
 b+='DDDD'
 b+='.'
 b+='com'
 d=b
 document.write(a+b+c+d+e)
}
escramble()//--></SCRIPT>


in your case you'd add:
<SCRIPT><!--
function escramble()
{
 var a,b,c,d,e
 a='<a href=\"mai'
 b='elf'
 c='\">'
 a+='lto:'
 b+='@'
 e='</a>'
 b+='cape'
 b+='.'
 b+='com'
 d=b
 document.write(a+b+c+d+e)
}
escramble()//--></SCRIPT>

which creates mailto:elf@xxxxxxxx


cool huh?
