Not possible w/ the FP forms handler
- the webbot code will always show the email address and can't be modified to obfuscate it
| Thanks everyone.
|
| In the post event of the form handler the email address
| is shown as S-Email-Address="
[email protected]". I was
| hoping that several hidden fields could be defined, a
| script that creates a temporary email variable as
| hidden1+hidden2+hidden3 and the S-Email-Address asigned
| to that temporary email variable.
|
| Is this not possible?
