How to: protect emails from "spam" bots?

I've seen on some websites that email address are "hidden" and protected from
"spam bots". I've inquired how this is done in HTML and ASP newsgroups, but
nobody seems to know... or answer. This is probably not the right newsgroups
either, but can someone point me in the right direction (or if they know)
advise how this is done?

Thanks,

There are several ways to do it, but I use javascript. Here is the code I use, which I found on someone else's site:

<a href="../tmpl/admin/mail.htm" onmouseover="th is.href='mai' + 'lto:' + 'vagabondia' + '@' + 'san.rr.com'">C ontact Webmaster</a>

Here is the what it looks like on a web-page:
http://home.san.rr.com/vagabondia/admin/mail.htm

This is a test site and still under construction, but the email obfuscation works.

Hello everyone, I have created a simple guestbook for my bandsite (http://www.thefirm- online.be). As you might expect, some spambots have jumped on it as soon as it went online.
