Crack the code
After finally having e-nough spam coming in because I kept my e-mail address unaltered on my site, I took a tip from the Scripty Goddesses and used the E-mail Address Encoder to generate my e-mail link instead. It's a nifty little script you can have validate in XHTML or 4.01, and it even allows you to put in link-hover text. When your site visitors click on the link to e-mail you, it will look and act like a real e-mail address -- but your address is encoded in a bunch of gobbelty-gook (yes, that is a technical term) HTML that spam-robots usually can't harvest. You can check it out in action over in my sidebar. I think I'm in love...



Hey boy take a look at me...let me dirty up your mind...



I use another freeware utility called "ASS (Anti-Spam Script) Maker" for mine.

Here's the simple code it generates:

<!--
// This Script was made with ASS Maker 3.1 (c)2000-2001 A.Madeira
// http://www.assmaker.mybravenet.com
var link = "E-mail";
var tag1 = "mail";
var tag2 = "to:";
var email1 = "%20solonor";
var email2 = "myrealbox";
var email3 = ".com";
var subject = "Hey, Solonor!";
document.write("<a h" + "ref=" + tag1 + tag2 + email1 + "@" + email2 + email3 + "&subject=" + escape(subject) + ">" + link + "</a>")
//-->

How can you not pimp it with a name like ASS Maker?

I realized what name you were talking about after I hit the "send" button on my e-mail. I'm such a dork. :)

I wrote a Mask Email Generator a few weeks ago.

or you can just use: email@domain.com and not deal with all the overhead of that code. :)

dammit, HTML comments! that should have read:

email & # 6 4 domain.com

(minus the spaces of course)
