1 - Hiding from the Spam Bots
Just as the search engines have spiders or robots ("bots" in internet-speak) to visit all the webpages collecting information for the search engines, the spanners have "spam bots" which visit sites trying to collect email addresses so they can send out spam. Using a piece of code to deliver the email address from the server to the computer is one way of making it harder for the spam bots to capture addresses.
The following piece of Javascript is used to generate the email addresses just below the hyperlinks...
function sendto (domain, account, text) {
var atsign = String.fromCharCode(64);
document.write('<a href="mailto:');
document.write(account + atsign + domain);
if (text==null || text.length==0) {
document.write('\">');
document.write(account + atsign + domain);
} else
document.write('\" title=\"'+text+'\">'+text);
document.write('<\/a>');
}
var atsign = String.fromCharCode(64);
document.write('<a href="mailto:');
document.write(account + atsign + domain);
if (text==null || text.length==0) {
document.write('\">');
document.write(account + atsign + domain);
} else
document.write('\" title=\"'+text+'\">'+text);
document.write('<\/a>');
}
And is called with the following HTML...
<script language="javascript" type="text/javascript">
sendto('evolutioncomputing.co.uk','info','Email Us')
</script><noscript>
<address>info at evolution computing.co.uk</address>
</noscript>
sendto('evolutioncomputing.co.uk','info','Email Us')
</script><noscript>
<address>info at evolution computing.co.uk</address>
</noscript>
So if you don't see a clickable email link below the hyperlinks on the left, it's because your browser is not running Javascript.
