I see what you mean, yeah if the email scavengers look at the CODE, then they could still get your address. I was not aware they looked within the HTML code. I've seen those non clickable gif's of the email address, but that is just so inconvenient for the customer since they then have to manually open an email and type in the address. I have a feeling regardless of what we do to prevent it, these jerks will always find a way to harass you. -Clint God Bless Us All Clint Hamilton, Owner http://OrpheusComputing.com � ----- Original Message ----- From: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Cc: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Date: 25.06.02 Sender: [EMAIL PROTECTED] (aka "S") Time: 05:21 S> Jeff you can always replace your email address text link with S> a clickable gif of your email address, that looks like your S> email address. This doesn't prevent bots from collecting your e-mail address. That is because bots scan through the html source and not through the final presentation of the webpage. They usually look for mailto tags (i.e. "mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]";) and gather the stuff between the quotes. An alternative way to present your e-mail address hiding it from bots is to have a non-clickable image of it. Bots can't pick up addresses from images (although such programms can exist) so you would be protected from those little, green and nasty fellows. Another way is to replace the at-sign as wells as the dots with similar symbols. For example, my address can be presented as: tnu<>chania,di,uoa,gr which is a nice way to prevent UBE. Note: The web interface of this list is often searched by bots so... ============= PCWorks Mailing List ================= Don't see your post?
