Hi all,
I a fairly new to html and Javascripting. I have been trying to write
some code to hide my email address from spam harvesters. I copied the
code from various web examples and modified it to suit me.
The code to generate the address is in a js include file. I am using
frontpage 2003 to create my web pages. My problem is that the code
works OK when I test it using Frontpage's 'Preview' but does not work
when I display the page in an actual browser (IE or Firefox).
The same code works OK if I have it inline but not when I place the
code in an include file.
Can someone tell me what I am doing wrong?
The include file is is called 'email_addy.js' and is stored in a folder
called 'scripts/' off the page root.
The javascript code for the include is below. The html for the page
follows it.
Cheers
Tony.
