I tried this: <?php echo "<span class=\"safety\">sss>a/<moc.liamg@xxxxxxxxxxx<\"moc.liamg@xxxxxxxxxxx:otliam\"=ferh a></span>"; ?> and css: .safety { direction:rtl; unicode-bidi: bidi-override; } for the address jocplus.doo@xxxxxxxxx but I haven't managed it to display properly Could someone please direct me, I believe if I put the <a class="safety" href="mailto:jocplus.doo@xxxxxxxxx">vicaversa</a>... it does not really protect the email address, because in mailto: it has to be as defined jocplus.doo@xxxxxxxxx Thanks, -- When the sun rises I receive and when it sets I forgive -> http://moj.skavt.net/gleskovs/ Always in Heart, Grega LeskovÅek 2010/6/15 Ashley Sheridan <ash@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>: > On Tue, 2010-06-15 at 13:02 -0400, HallMarc Websites wrote: > >> >> -----Original Message----- >> From: Ashley Sheridan [mailto:ash@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx] >> Sent: Monday, June 14, 2010 10:52 AM >> To: Dotan Cohen >> Cc: HallMarc Websites; David Mehler; php-general >> Subject: Re: protecting email addresses on a web site >> >> On Mon, 2010-06-14 at 17:50 +0300, Dotan Cohen wrote: >> >> > On 14 June 2010 15:36, HallMarc Websites <sales@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> >> wrote: >> > > Another is a CSS solution where you type the email address backwards and >> > > then use the CSS style declaration: >> > > style="direction: rtl; unicode-bidi: bidi-override;" >> > > >> > >> > How does that work with screen readers?
