obfuscate email address

Agree with ludofulop. Best is to use your email address in a seperated JS file, in a function. It will not appear in your page (not visible on the screen and in the source)

if not do


<form method= "post" action="http://www.somedomain.com/scripts/formemail.bml">
onsubmit="this.my_email.value='contact'+'@'+'mydomain'+'.com'">
<input type="hidden" name="my_email" value="">

and return an error from formemail
But it is safer to hardcode on server

I agree that hardcoding on server is the way to go. But it is not an option for me. I do not control that server. Startlogic hosts my site and it is their server. I do not have access.
mplunghan: I will test your code next thing I do.
Thanks to everyone.

So did you log on and use
http://www.startlogic.com/webControl/powerpack/index.bml?tool=formemail

?

I am sorry but I am missing something. I place the onsubmit line by copying it from here into my code. I changed the email to my address. When I started the page the whole onsubmit line was visible at the top of my page.
So I enclosed the onsubmit line like this:
<form method= "post" action="http://www.startlogic.com/scripts/formemail.bml">
<script type="text/javascript">
onsubmit="this.my_email.value='contact'+'@'+'mydomain'+'.com'">
</script>
<input type="hidden" name="my_email" value="">
'
When I placed this code on the server, I recieved an error from the server. The error describes that the server's script was called incorrectly.

The code looks fairly simple so I don't think it is not correct. Rather I suspect I have not implemented it correctly on my page.

Where do I place this script in my web page? What other tags or lines do I need to include. I do not have any java on my page.
thanks.

Also, for my benefit, can bots read the java script? When I look at source my email is pretty easy to read.

mplungjan: yes, I followed their directions and it works fine. It is just that my email address is in that hidden field on my web page.

Attached is the startlogic web page in text form. It requires that I submit my email address on every submit. Very stupid I know but it is what it is.

because I am using godaddy, and there you have an interface where you specify your email address or allowed domains and they build the form mailer for you

I am paid up for a couple of years so I won't be switching.
However, can you anwser my questions regarding why the java doesn't seem to work?

Typo perhaps?
I was not suggesting to switch provider, just that most providers I know has this option so perhaps a call to the helpdesk could sort you out or get them thinking

erm...
Can you perhaps be more specific?

Does the script work when you do NOT obfuscate?
Do you get some error message in the error console?
