(so it doesn't get added to the spammer's list) using jscript? The
user woudl still need to be able to click on it and popup his email as

hide email from robots with jscript? well, you could split it up into a variable, then document.write() it. since robots don't parse javascript, they won't get it.
document.write('<a href="mailto:'+eml+'">email</a>');

Robots that are harvesting email adresses are (I suspect) not very smart - they don't interpret JS before searching for email patterns. As such, it should be sufficient to simply document.write an unescaped version of some escaped HTML. I do this on http://jscript.dk : <script src="email.js"></script>
<noscript>contact (at) jscript (dot) dk</noscript>
where email.js contains:
document.write(unescape('%54%68%6f%72%20%4c%61%72%68%6f%6c%6d%20%2d%20%63%6f%6e%
74%61%63%74%3a%20%3c%61%20%68%72%65%66%3d%22%6d%61%69%6c%74%6f%3a%63%6f%6e%74%61
%63%74%40%6a%73%63%72%69%70%74%2e%64%6b%22%3e%63%6f%6e%74%61%63%74%40%6a%73%63%7
2%69%70%74%2e%64%6b%3c%2f%61%3e'))

since _some_ robots don't parse javascript they won't get it... Jim.

hide email from robots with jscript? Exactly what I was looking for! Is there a routine that will take normal text and write it out as
escape chars so that I can add it to my email.js?
Thanks, Les Caudle

Geeez!!!
My solution is a lot simpler... Though I'm not sure how well it works. Well,
there's no way to be sure it does.

| Is there a command that will turn a normal string into escape chars | like the ones you show below? Thanks, Les Caudle escape(unescape(whatever)) == whatever;
unescape( escape(whatever)) == whatever;
But this format uses "%20" instead of "+" to represent spaces. That's why I
always use this couple of functions:
urlEncode = function(str) { return escape(str).replace(/%20/g, '+') };
urlDecode = function(str) { return unescape(str.replace(/\+/g, ' ')) };
For the purposes of this thread, I suggest createing a nonstandard pair of
encode/decode functions. That will make the protection even more effective.

A ready-to-use example for Les Caudle (who may not wish to make one himself): http://jscript.dk/2002/3/obfuscate.html
The default output can be viewed on

It might be a good idea to quote some of what you're replying to... Yes, I have robots which parse javascript... I've even scraped email
addresses off of pages with them...
