JFP, I will definetly be hitting you up for the server/members area thing we talked about tomorow, and we can chat about this as well.

I would still like to hear about any other solutions that are out there, besides using a form

How do internet surfers usually feel about using a form? I don't know if anyone would know that, but I thought I would ask

Also, Fletch, can any of the softwares out there still get your email from a form?

And where is a good place to get a nice email form? Hotscripts.com?

i dont collect emails of surfers. I just answering how to keep spiders off email links.

software cant grab my email because its embedded in the admin php file.

hmm im sure hotscripts might have something, email scripts are fairly simple in regards to the actual script.

**directfiesta** · 03-04-2005, 04:27 PM

Do as FletchXXX says or use an encoder:

http://www.wbwip.com/wbw/emailencoder.html

On the visible web page:

"For more information, send email to [email protected]."

In the source code for the web page, the above should look like this:

"For more information, send email to <A HREF="mailto:
hahaha121;hahaha111;hahaha117;hahaha114;hahaha110; hahaha097;hahaha109;hahaha101;hahaha064;hahaha100; hahaha111;hahaha109;hahaha097;hahaha105;hahaha110; hahaha046;hahaha099;hahaha111;hahaha109;">
hahaha121;hahaha111;hahaha117;hahaha114;hahaha110; hahaha097;hahaha109;hahaha101;hahaha064;hahaha100; hahaha111;hahaha109;hahaha097;hahaha105;hahaha110; hahaha046;hahaha099;hahaha111;hahaha109;

You can use a htacess to

You use a link to domainblabla.com/email
in this folder you put a htacess and foward to mailto:blabla.com

I use this, and no harvester problems. But form are better.

The prob with real harvester software , they use real browser User Agent , so you cant find or control them.

**hell** · 03-04-2005, 10:16 PM

just replace "@" with "%40" in html
job done

**BoNgHiTtA** · 03-04-2005, 10:21 PM
