- seanalltogether, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2Using Flash is definitely my favorite method. Its hard for spammers to automate the process of even knowing that they need to look through a swf file for an email address and on top of that you have the complications of decompiling it out.
- MasterDwarf, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Digg for anything that helps repel spammers. Those things'll make ya itch.
- Chapter80, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2Greaaaaaaaaaaaat ... now the email harvesting spammers have one source (this page) to see a bunch of cool methods that are in use. Now we need more methods. ;)
Digg++ - TAGG, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0All those (except Flash) are lame - as it's pretty much easy to automate all Java-Script mambo-jumbo using http://httpunit.sourceforge.net/
Regexp to extract userATdomainDOTcom from resulting HTML document and others "encryptions" are 30 minute freshman student assignment ! - sautter, on 06/21/2008, -0/+0Another possibility is a web form for email.
Something like http://www.xinbox.com - UGM2099, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0FIR - Flash image replacement?
- badkungfu, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0if you did an XHR request to get the adress from the server, would a bot typically know to run the script and look in the html/json/whatever response?
- HeyBob, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0This is the best method I've found:
http://eggminus.com/demo/js/ - _skin_, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Why not just code your whole mailto link in unicode?

مسجات - shreky, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Very interesting. I like the ajax effect. I am trying out ajax on my site but getting it to be lightweight is the main issue.
http://www.westernstudios.net - crpietschmann, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0The best method I've found is using a "Mail To" form on your page that incorporates a Captcha to minimize spam. This way you don't even have to show you email address and it's semi protected agains spam bots by utilizing a Captcha.
- tamborinfinito, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Damn those spammers!!!!!!! @#$%^&
- badkungfu, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0...personally i use forms and send email on the server when possible
- supertoad, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0These are only annoying to users, they wont stop a bot.
string html = "foo AT bar DOT baz";
string email = "";
int i = html.find("mailto:", 0) + strlen("mailto:");
int j = html.find("">", 0);
for (; i < j; i++) {
if (html.substr(i,2) == "AT") {
email.append("@");
i++;
}
else if (html.substr(i,3) == "DOT") {
email.append(".");
i+=2;
}
else {
email.append(html.substr(i,1));
}
} - inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+090% of his suggestions are easily compromised by a bot
and the other 10% make it impossible or at the very least, a hassle for the user. - floam, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0I use some scripting to obsfuscate it. Hit refresh a few times:
http://floam.sh.nu/contact - klamathvx, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Dugg. Definitely good info...
- mutt, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0still quicker in perl...
- theokayplus, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0@supertoad
javascript supports regex and can accomplish the same thing much simpler:
html = "mailto:fooATbarDOTcom";
email = html.replace(/mailto:([a-zA-Z0-9.]+)AT([a-zA-Z0-9]+)DOT([a-zA-Z])/,"$1@$2.$3");
document.write("html : " +html + "");
document.write("email : "+email); - h0dg3s, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Here's an idea, don't give it out.
- badkungfu, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0depends on your audience. the problem with a gif is that you want customers- some of whom may be clueless- to get to you as quickly and effortlessly as possible...a gif won't open their mail client (and they may mistype the address) and a captcha in the address will almost certainly confuse them.
with xhr/ajax, i know the bot *could* run the script and grab the address, but i doubt they do or that they want to run every function and process all the results to see if one contains an email address. the end result would be a completely normal looking email link.
but, xhr is problematic on older browsers, text browsers, javascript-off browsers....so i guess i'll stick with forms for the time being. - dostroyer, on 06/07/2008, -0/+0FIR - Flash image replacement?

People who visit my blog are SQL server programmers so they copy and paste this into Query Analyzer hit F5 and they get the 'real' email
I have actually received a couple of emails how to create the binary string
Works for me - L0t3k, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0I'm not taking any css advice from someone who can't make a page that renders properly.
- olegk, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0why not make a GIF or a PNG file with your email? So easy.
