The 5:30 Design Tip

Daily Tips on Web design that you can utilize in your Web site.

Wednesday, June 13, 2007

Don't use your address in plain sight.

Many people don't realize that a major source of spammers getting an email address is from the Web. It is helpful to be able to put an email address on your site for users to email you. How do you do it in such a way that spammers have to do more work in order to get it?

Nechtan Design has made available the method that we use to encode our client's email addresses for their Web pages. This method is not foolproof but it does help. The page is available for anyone who wants to use it.

This is a simple method used by many different people. It utilizes javascript to encrypt the string. When the page is interpreted the javascript causes the string to be printed as part of the document.

Copy the code exactly from the Final HTML section and put it exactly where you want your mailto link to appear in your page.

Hopefully this will help you to receive less spam.
