Prevents
your email address from being harvested by spam robots.
1. This
script will allow you to encode your e-mail address. This
prevents the automated harvesting of your email address from
your web pages. Simply enter your regular e-mail address
in the first text box, click the encode button at the
bottom of the page, and then highlight and copy the resulting
code produced in the second text box.
2.
Now replace the email address with this code wherever the
email address appears in your HTML CODE.
Caution!
It
is a good idea to use notepad
or some other plain text editor
for this operation. Some programs like
MS Front Page or Dreamweaver MX
will not retain the changes you make and the email will not
stay encoded as you intended.
3.
When you view the actual webpage, the email address will function
and look normal but the code page will not be recognized as
an email address to the spam harvesting robots. Simple but
effective. Be sure to test your work to be
sure that the email works as it should and check the code
again to make sure the email is still encoded.
