[thelist] Using JavaScript for non-clickable email addresses

I think I mis-understood.  I thought that you were looking to display a
current email address on a somewhat static page.  If this is dynamic,
and the email address comes from a dynamic store, there is little danger
of a 'bot to get the address, since it can't 'log in' or enter the
address to display.

Otherwise, if you want to show email addresses of people, storing and
displaying them as .jpg files largely eliminates the 'bot reading them.

Bruce,

Are you then suggesting to add a link to the image, or to have the end
user
type that into an e-mail?

Simplest way is to create an image (jpg) and show it that way.  That's
much harder for the 'bots to read, but easy for the user to read.

Subject: [thelist] Using JavaScript for non-clickable email addresses

I would like to place an email address on a page, but I do not want
SPAM Harvesters to see the address.  I have a solution to display
useable/clickable email addresses, but I need to find a solution to
display an email address that is not clickable as well.

I do not want to just type <p>person at domain.com</p> b/c there are
harvesters that easily pick it up.  So, what I need is a complex
(javascript) solution to something very simple...unfortunately.

I know that there is no safe approach to this, b/c harvesters are
always evolving, and I cannot currently do the email protection server
side.  It is heading that way, but will not get done for a few months.

So, is there a simple js snip that will produce plan text?

Something along the lines of what is on this page...
http://www.bronze-age.com/nospam/

...only plain text needs to be produced in place of a functioning email
address.

Any one have an idea?
