Hi.
Sorry I couldn't think of a better way to word the title for this
thread. My question is this:
Say I have a page that is generated totally dynamically by Javascript.
The code will generate several other pages using onClick events. Let's
say I had a normal piece of text on the page, made to look like a link
(without using the href attribute), and a user clicked on it.
<a onClick="show_contact_info()">Show contact information</a>
Would this prevent the majority of crawlers that search the web for
E-mail addesses from accessing this the information on this page? I am
not sure if a bot can follow an onClick event, or even read an E-mail
address from the actual JavaScript code itself.
Can anyone suggest the best way to store contact information in a way
that it wouldn't be accessable by the majority of crawlers, but
preferably without having to prompt the user for verification? I accept
that some crawlers may be advanced enough to do such things, which is
why I am mainly interested in preventing the majority of crawlers.
If I do need to get the user to confirm a code or something, then I am
happy to do so, but I thought this might make for an interesting
discussion.
Best wishes.
Daz.
