How do I hide my email address from spiders?

I've tried inserting some code into the block to hide it, but it apparantly doesn't like it. I would have liked a better solution than the one I'm currently using since spiders are getting smarter everyday.

The code that I'm currently using simply uses the
& # 6 4; (minus the spaces :) )character in place of the @ sign in my email addresses.



any other suggestions or do you think this is effective enough? The other suggestion that I have is to create the email address as a jpg but that has a whole slew of other issues attached to it.

One question - "Hide where?!"

well, encrypt it I guess...so it not as easy for spiders and stuff to find. I need it to show up on my page as an email address, but not "look" like an email address to a harvester.

Clear as mud?

Re: Hide my email address from spiders.

the checkEmail($email) function will return "name at host dot tld" if you send a second parameter "true"

e.g. userinfo.php lines 132 and 137 (they are identical):
$xoopsTpl->assign('user_email'checkEmail($thisUser->getVar('email''E'), true));

I asked - is it manually entered address or generated-shown automatically?!
If you can use HTML in this area, where e0mail placed you can
1/ Find (somewhere here on site) easy smarty-plugin "Email Obscurator", which will modify all e-mail addresses on site,
2/ Insert endoded manually full e-mail (can be decoded by smart-spiders)
Example (can't write full, because Newbb renders HTML-coded chars even inside code tag)
<a href="&#...;&#...;&#...;</a>

3/ Use embedded Java-script instead of HTML-codes
<script language="JavaScript"> <!-- 
 
document.write ('....')
 
// --> 
</script>


Ask Google about "E-mail cloaker"

I just posted something on another topic which relates to this thread.

Let me know if you find it works for you or if you can improve on it.
