[thelist] Email address hiding question

[Robert Vreeland]

You could also include it directly in the event handler assignment. For
example:

<a href="#" onclick="dosomething(); return false"
This should work for any javascript enable browser as the onclick event
fires before the link.

You might want to change the function to this, but you might get
unexpected results in some browsers (I don't have any idea, but it
seems like you might):

function sendmail() {
  // cancel std event processing
  event.returnValue = false;
  // remove spam blocker
  var url = event.srcElement.href.replace(".no-spam at please.", "@");
  url = url.replace("Please remove spam blocker. ", "");
  // open email window
  window.location = url;
}

As for your replace() failing, I don't know. Sorry.
