Mask email address

October 24, 2016

Sometimes clients just won’t accept the advice to use a contact form, and instead insist on having their email address on the site. This, of course, is just an open invitation to spambots scraping the address straight off the site.

A simple solution is to use javascript to mask the address thus fooling the cheeky little bots:


var username = "[your_username]";

var hostname = "[your_mail_account_domain]";

var linktext = username + "@" + hostname ;

document.write("" + linktext + "");
