Just go to following site and put your email address and click on submit button.
One script will be generated and you have to use that script in your code.

Code: Select all

Obviously, this is not helpful for our day to day life.
Its only useful for some people.
You can use above method only where there is some hyperlink like this:-
Please mail me at here.

well, the most secure way is simply not to put the email address into the site's code. this can be done by placing an image with the address on the site instead of writing the address....but of course that's not very comfy because a visitor that wants to contact you have to type in the address manually, the same is for the often used [AT] instead of @.

you can also use HTML entities instead of the plain text for the address in the site code:

but this is not a really good protection, because some harvester bots can surely already read them.

the safest method is still to use JS, but only if the script is an external one which is stored outside of the document root.
