Spam bots that harvest your email address from sites can't read javascript, so if you're in a hurry and don't want to implement a form on your site then you can place your email address on your site with this script which hides your email address
<script type=text/javascript>
var _u = "you";
var _d = "yoursite.com";
var _l = _u + "@" + _d;
var _m = "Contact us";
document.write("<a href='mailto:"+_l+"'>"+_m+"</a>");
</script>
replace you and yoursite.com with your email
<script type=text/javascript>
var _u = "you";
var _d = "yoursite.com";
var _l = _u + "@" + _d;
var _m = "Contact us";
document.write("<a href='mailto:"+_l+"'>"+_m+"</a>");
</script>
replace you and yoursite.com with your email
Nice tut. Always have to try and stay a step ahead of the spammers.
For how much longer do you think this will be true, Leo?
