    Default Adding Javascript for Hiding email links.

    With the problem of spam bots out there looking for every email address they
    can get their robot paws on, we have the need to cloak our email addresses at
    our site to work as normal email links when clicked on, but not display in the
    html code as a typical email link. There are several ways of doing this with
    Javascripts. The problem is, we are using Contribute for our departments to
    modify their web content. And, in Contribute, I have found no way that HTML
    can be modified to allow for end users to put in a Javascript in their editable
    areas. Any suggestions on how to work this out? Or, if there is a better
    way of cloaking email addresses that the end users can do, I am all ears.

    Thanks...

    I'm looking,too!
    Javascript is not my preferred solution - - some people have javascripting
    disabled.
    Dreamweaver has several tools to encode email addresses - decimal,
    hexadecimal, and both. We really need this for Contribute.

    I'll be watching this post as I start my search.

    Thanks for asking!
