Keep spammer from seeing my email addie in html code, how?

[Wilton Smith]

I use a form on my website to have people send me email, but of course my
email address shows in the html code used by the form. Although users cannot
see the email address, I suspect some spiders/bots can scan through the html
code and collect email addresses that way.

1) Is there any way to hide/mask my address in the html code?

2) Is there any way to hide all the html code in general to keep people from
viewing it? (I think I already know the answer to #2 is "No'.)

The answer to both is "no" when using the FP forms to email.

Hi Wilton,

Take a look at Spam Stopper for FrontPage

I convert my email addresses to bitmaps. From the viewer's perspective, it
still looks like normal text but to a spam bot searching for addresses, I do
not believe that they see an address.

This is the script I use for my sites.

Website by <script language=javascript>
<!--
var showtag="@"
var showlink="Your Name";
var showname="userID";
var showhost="host name";
document.write("<a href="+"mail"+"to:"+showname+showtag+showhost+
">"+showlink+"</a>")
//-->
</script>

I suppose anybody who is crafty enough to program a bot to scrape emails
from screens can see through such scripts....
