safe email address?

[Gernot Frisch]

Hi,

is this code:

<script type="text/javascript">
var a,b,c,d;
a = "x";
c = "kungfu";
b = "y";
d = "com";
document.write("<a href='mailto:" + a+b+"@"+c+"."+d+"'>eMail</a");
</script>

a safe way of hiding email address from spam bots? Or will they know
javascript and produce the (e-mail address removed) ??

No.

There are some that will.

Want a fool-proof way to keep a spammer from getting the email address?
Use a form, submit it to the server, the server sends you the email
address without it ever appearing on the web page.

OK, thank you.
