[thelist] Using JavaScript for non-clickable email addresses

[Jono]

Thanks Rob.  I have ( for now ) gone with your approach.  It works  
quite nicely.  IE 6 renders it as plain text, and remains rendered as  
plain text ( no underline ) on mosuer over.  I added a class to your  
<span> tags to remove the underline, and change the text to matchthe  
oterh text color:

.nodecorate {
	text-decoration: none;
	color: #333;
	}

H T M  L
<a name="anchor1" onmouseup="hello(this)"><span  
class="nodecorate">name</span><span  
class="nodecorate">&#064;</span><span  
class="nodecorate">domain.com</span></a>

Now the address renders just like plain text.

This is good enough for now ( or better than nothing at least ) until a  
back-end solution is devised.

Thanks,
