I'm hiding the email address on a website with this javascript which
works fine:
---------------------------------
<p>Send your comments and questions to our
<script language=javasc ript>
<!--
var contact = "Newsletter Editor"
var email = "news"
var emailHost = "netmechanic.co m"
document.write( "<a href=" + "mail" + "to:" + email + "@" + emailHost+
">" + contact + "</a>" + ".")
//-->
</script>
</p>
---------------------------------
How can I make an image instead of the text as a link to start this
script?
Thanks in advance

The "PointedEar s" must be your horns. Oh, and by the way, here is a
word you obviously need the definition to, must be the ONLY thing you
don't know, right?

ad·ver·tise

Me providing a link to a free tool I wrote that has no marketing on it
that can help people better secure their email links is a NICE and
POLITE thing that I do to HELP people. It is certainly not
"unsolicite d advertising". They can even take it and use it
themselves if they want. I don't care. (I capitalized the "big
words" you might not understand).
Well, I am off to help other people, I am sure I will see a response
following this outlining many ways that nothing I submit will work.,
just like you do on everyone else's messages. Sure hope you don't
talk to people in person the way you do on here.
Here's a challenge for you. Write one nice response to a user, come
back here and post the link so I can see that you actually helped
someone out. My bet is that I will never see anything.
Later pessimist
PS, your site http://www.pointedears.de/ needs a lot of work bro.

At least I /know/ what I am talking about.
You are not helping the OP by posting this "solution", you are hurting him/her in the mid-term. Because e-mail communication will be impossible for many, if not most, of his/her users while you give the false impression that this would be a viable approach that serves at least many users. There is a word for that: incompetence.
Here is how you would fix your code to use an image:
<script language=javasc ript> ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ ^^^^^ var contact = "Newsletter Editor"; var email = "news"; var emailHost = "netmechanic.co m"; document.write( "<a href='mailto:"+ email+"@"+email Host+"'><img src='http://groups.google.c om/groups/img/groups_medium.g if' width='150' height='58' border='0'>"+co ntact+"</a>"); ^^^^ The markup is not Valid, and therefore not supposed to be interoperable.
1. The `language' attribute is deprecated long since (December 1999), the `type' attribute is required. The language attribute is not Valid in HTML 4.01 Strict, XHTML 1.0 Strict, and XHTML 1.1.
2. mailto: is known to be highly unreliable (IOW: known not to work).
3. Writing the link with client-side scripting and so introducing a dependency on that technique makes it even worse.
4. The `img' element requires the `alt' attribute, as text alternative if the image cannot be displayed.
5. ETAGO delimiters </ must be escaped within CDATA element content, or the element is considered to end prematurely by the markup parser, causing a syntax error for the script engine here.
So there are the following possibilities:
1. There is no client-side script support, the script is filtered by a proxy, or the client works strictly standard compliant:
The user sees exactly nothing, and depending on the strictness of the parser, if there is client-side script support, and the script is not filtered, the user gets a nice error message, too.
2. There is client-side script support, the script is not filtered, and despite the markup being not Valid the script is executed, but
a) the user is blind or visually impaired, and therefore can not find the link (there is no text that can be interpreted by a Braille line or read to him aloud by a screenreader); b) there is no e-mail client installed; c) the HTML user agent (UA) does not support mailto: URIs; d) the e-mail client is not configured with the UA to handle mailto: URIs
Where each of b) to d) is highly likely with users having a Web mail account.
For the infinitesimal tiny rest of users, this nonsense actually works. Big time.

Manifest Interactive, thanks a lot, but when I copy this script into my
html the image is not displayed. It only works with a text link. I
tried it several different ways, really strange...
Greetings,
Are you copying this script inside your body tag? Also, make sure that
you removed all the line breaks that this forum will put in the code.
In all total there should only be 6 lines of code including the <script
language=javasc ript> and </script> tags. If you have more than that,
then that is the problem.
Here is a link to a sample page I put up on my site for you: http://www.manifestinteractive.com/u...imagelink.html
Just copy that code if you want. Hope this solves your problem.

Blind leading the blind ... It would be funny if it would not be so sad.
FWIW, you are looking for a (server-side) form mailer, such as
<URL: http://formmailer.com/ (or write your own in any server-side language;
I prefer PHP), not mailto: or client-side scripting, and certainly not the
nonsense provided by the incompetent spammer posing here. This way, your
e-mail address is known only server-side, not to the users (or a potential
spammer). And _all_ of them will be able to send you e-mail anyway. By
using POST requests and server-side sessions, you can successfully prevent
most attempts spamming to the resource the form points to.
HTH & HAND

Thomas 'PointedEars' Lahn said the following on 3/10/2006 10:36 AM: and certainly not the nonsense provided by the incompetent spammer posing here.
Everything you said was 100% on the mark except the above. Nothing that
he has posted would qualify as "spam" and whether he is "posing" or
"posting" (I assume that to be a typo but it may be intentional) he
still hasn't spammed this group. It goes back to your typical behavior
of name calling when someone disagrees with you.

Manifest Interactive, thank you very much. The line breaks were the
problem. Now it works.

Hi.
Looking for some feedback on how to prevent a specific spam attack.
I have a form for a person to subscribe to a mailing list and they can
type in their email and click submit to subscribe. They then are sent
an email asking them to click a link to confirm. how can I prevent a
spammer from simply looping through thousands of emails and populating
my email list table with thousands of records and crashing the system?

I have a very long page of html that I want to take portions and hide

is swapped with close.gif
- subsequently, when close.gif is clicked, the div contents get hidden

I'm using PHP 5. I was wondering given an image, a.jpg, how can I
make an image that would look like you slid a white index card (which
I have a file, white.jpg with the same dimensions as a.jpg) over
a.jpg? Note that you'd be sliding the image from top to bottom or
from left to right, but not both.
Thanks, let me know if this makes sense ... it's a litlte hard to
