O.P. Huh?  javascipt / html - help
hello, i read outa some mag that got given to me about email spamming.   (PC Authority or something) It says about how spiders crawl the net and get emails from websites, it then has a javascipt which makes the spiders skip the email. I followed the insturction in the book but i still cant get to work.
Below is the code;

1. how do i make it come up on the page and work?
2. tell me what was wrong.

<script language="javascript"><!document.write('<ahref=mailto:'+'jacobcass'+'@'+'hotmail.com>user'+'@'+'hotmail.com</a>')</script>

THANKS!

Change "ahref" to "a href" and remove the "<!" and it should work. :p

<! should be <!--, to remark off the java scripts in case browser didn't recognize it at all

"ahref" should be "a href" of course, because it's an A tag with HREF attribute/property :)

What the magazine should print is:
<script language="javascript">
<!--
document.write('<a href=mailto:'+'jacobcass'+'@'+'hotmail.com>jacobcass'+'@'+'hotmail.com</a>')
-->
</script>

Anyways, this will stop indeed some spiders/crawlers, but certainly not all! It will only stop those who look at the html source, not the ones who look at the html-page itself.

Try
code:
<a href="javascript:launchMail()">E-mail Me</a>
with
code:
<script type="text/javascript">
<!--
function launchMail()
{
    var email = "<user-name>";
    email = email + "@";
    email = email + "<domain-name>";
    window.location = "mailto:" + email;
}
// -->
</script>
Put the <script> part between the <head> tags, and the <a> anywhere where you want your e-mail link.

This code works: it's lifted from my own webpage.

PHP is server-side yes? Therefore, is t places more load on the server. A JavaScript/HTML solution puts the load on the client, which I believe is better all round.

If you changed the code to as below then the spiders shouldnt pick it up

<script language="javascript">
<!--
document.write('<a href=mailto:'+'jacobcass'+'@'+'hotmail.com>email'+'me</a>')-->
</script>
