Foiling Robots : A Response

By | 2006/05/25

In response to Doran’s post about foolin’ the robots I thought I’d share my strategy for the same. It seems to work pretty well & it can be customized to make it even more difficult for spam-hackers to foil. (disclaimer: I can’t take credit for making it up, just thought I’d share.)

For my method I use javascript. I call the javascript file in the header and then call the email using ‘< a href=“javascript:doMyeMail();>‘. This, of course, points to the function in the javascript file & renders the email.

If you’d like to take a look at one implementation check out my javascript file. You can see there how I’ve used it for multiple email addresses and basically what it does. Enjoy!
