Using JavaScript to E-mail Addresses:

Create A Spam-Proof Mailto Link

This snippet of JavaScript creates a clickable link that launches the visitor’s email application,
assuming that their system is configured to work with “mailto:” hyperlinks. You can replace the
link text with your own message, but see example 2 if you want to display your email address as
the link text.

<script language=javascript>
<!–
var username = “username”;
var hostname = “yourdomain.com”;
var linktext = “Click Here To Send Me Email”;
document.write(“<a href=” + “mail” + “to:” + username +
“@” + hostname + “>” + linktext + “”)
//–>
</script>

A Spam-Proof Mailto Link That Shows Your eMail Address

<script language=javascript>

<!–
var username = “username”;
var hostname = “yourdomain.com”;
var linktext = username + “@” + hostname;
document.write(“<a href=” + “mail” + “to:” + username +
“@” + hostname + “>” + linktext + “”)
//–>
</script>

Displaying Email Address Without A Mailto Link:

Here’s a snippet that displays your email address without a clickable link:

<script language=javascript>
<!–
var username = “username”;
var hostname = “yourdomain.com”;
var linktext = username + “@” + hostname;
document.write(username + “@” + hostname)
//–>
</script>

Using A Contact Form:

Hiding The Email Address in a Form Field:

<script language=javascript>
<!–
var username = “username”;
var hostname = “yourdomain.com”;
var linktext = username + “@” + hostname;
document.write(“<input type=hidden name=email
value=” +username + “@” + hostname” + “>”;
document.write(username + “@” + hostname);
//–>
</script>
