E-mail problem with my web site !

[birdynumnum]

I have put my e-mail on my web site and I keep getting virus, spam... Is
there a way (a java script or something else) to block these spam (hide my
address from spam) directly on my web page. Thank you for your help.

No. Some techniques -- putting your email address in an image, for
instance -- may work against spam bots, but they will keep out blind
users and annoy sighted users.

Apart from the fact that this (the javascript version) will not work for the
small(ish) percentage -- yet significant number -- of internet users who
either don't have javascript available to them, or choose to disable it, how
long can it possibly be before spam-bots are capable of decoding such things
(if they can't already!)? And I'm sure they must be able to decode the hex
characters version by now.

Cheers,

Use a contact form which stores the email address in the server-side script
used to generate the email to you. If your host doesn't allow you to use
server-side scripts, move to one that does. This doesn't have to be
expensive - Affordable Host (http://www.affordablehost.com) have PHP enabled
space for around $35/year (if you aren't in the US, this could also be a
good time to take advantage of the currently weak dollar!). BTW, I don't
work for Affordable Host - I'm a satisfied customer of some years (as are
quite a few of the other regulars in here).

The last time I checked Tina did not allow her email script to be modified,
even to bury the email addresses within it.

Get rid of Windows, consider Mac or Linux. The spam will still come, but
it will hurt less.

I can't speak for anyone else, but I'm much less likely to use an email
form than I am to send an email using my client of choice. I like having
spell check, being able to save emails I've sent, and the interface is
often a lot nicer than a Web form.

Doesn't work for me either. The first syntax error was on line 35, but I
haven't bothered to find out why. Also, I think EFGrabber can decode the
links produced by this page. Try mine instead

You don't have to modify Tina's email script to have a contact
form with a server-side script on your site afaik.

Please explain. How can I hide the email address in the server-side script
if Tina does not let me modify the script?

By using your own script.
I'm not using any of Tina's scripts. Yet I do use scripts.
(yes, hosted by affordable host)

Use this email scrambler. Can't be seen by email harvesters.

So, my scripts aren't good enough for you, eh? ;-)

Seriously, we offer a copy/paste form-to-email script with our paid hosting
accounts. Its a simple and easy form for newbies, but it doesn't hide the
email address. You can run your own php or perl form script (as long as its
secure and isn't Matt Wright's Formmail) and hide your email address quite
nicely though.

Nifty, but still won't work unless javascript is available and enabled at
the client end.

Your scripts are the best, Tina! ;-)

Seriously, we offer a copy/paste form-to-email script with our paid
hosting accounts. Its a simple and easy form for newbies, but it
doesn't hide the email address.

If you offer a copy/paste version of the script, couldn't a client copy the
script, put their email address inside the script and save it? Or have I
missed a point here?

BTW, did Brian tell you about your namesakes with the co.uk address? ;-)
(the one I ended up at the other night because I got your address wrong)

And if you're on a machine at the local library,
you will choose...?
My form sends you a copy if you just enter your
email address correctly. On the same page you have
the choice to use webmail or Thunderbird even if
you don't enable javascript...
And I have a free account!
