What is the best way to allow someone browsing my webpage to e-mail me? I am not interested in a bunch of spam, so I need an option that will not allow spammers to easily get ahold of my address.

Thanks,

Chris,
Just write everything out longhand, and then explain that obviously whoever really wants to e-mail you has to put it in the form that everybody knows.

e.g. chrisjacamar (at) gobbledygook (dot) com

I use a small jpg with an image of the text. No spambot is gonna catch me out now.

Thanks for the suggestions!

Hi

I write it out like:

johnjones*aol.com please replace * with @

I pinched this idea I saw somewhere. You build up a mailto link using javascript. A program scraping email addresses off web pages will not recognise it as an address. See my email link on http://homepages.nildram.co.uk/~merula
for an example. I've had this up for years and get hardly any spam.

<script language="JavaScript">
user = "alastair.rae";
site = "gmail.com";
document.write('<a href=\"mailto:' + user + '@' + site + '\">');
document.write('E-mail Alastair</a>');
</script>

I use a script similar to Alastairs's. Slightly more complicated though.

<script><!--
function escramble(){var a,b,c,d,e,f,g,h,i
a='<a href=\"mai'
b='name'
c='\">'
a+='lto:'
b+='@'
e='</a>'
f=''
b+='provider.com'
g='<img src=\"'
h=''
i='\" alt="Email us." border="0">'
if(f)d=f
else if(h)d=g+h+i
else d=b
document.write(a+b+c+d+e)}escramble()
//--></script>

Thanks,

You can get a free html code that is supposed to stop spamming - but I can't remember where from! If you use as you web editor Microsoft FrontPage you can get similar, again free, from "Jimco Addins" - do a Google to find the link. I use that on my website and have few spam problems.
