Anyone have a script that writes out a email address in the hex style. Basically a way I can enter a email address into a form and then have it out put it in the hex form?
Or know here I can download one? I have checked out www.planet-source-code.com but couldn't find anything but will take another look.
I found a php one but I would like to have a .asp one if anyone has this would be great?
Thanks All

Basically I am looking for when you put like a contact us email on a page. For Example:
please contact us at site@site.com to basically output to something like this:
<a href="&dfef;$nfdo;&dfsw;&fdsf;">Email Us</>
Or at least something similar and I know those arn't exact hex codes but thats the idea I am looking for. Any ideas?
Thanks |

Thanks LEatherlips thats a nice one I just want one I can put somewhere on my server so I can just run emails straight into HEX form. Anyone know of any scripts I couldn't get the above one to work.
I have one I can show you later today it was written in php and this is what I want only in .asp
Will post the link in a coupld hours.
Or does anyone know of anyway to hide a email address from spiders? I am not sure the best practices for this just thoguth this way would work.

The only sure fire ways of hiding e-mail addresses from 'bots (such as using images or javascript), unfortunately, do not conform to any current accessibility standards. Always best to encourage your punter not have have their e-mail address on display anywhere on the site, to use a form, instead, to allow people to get in contact with them. When the client insists on their e-mail address being displayed on the site, we provide them with a disclaimer stating that we cannot be held responsible for they influx of spam/viruses they may receive as a result of the address being picked up by 'bots. We do, however, replace the @ in all addresses with @ just to make it look like we've made some effort to hide their address.

That sounds like a good way. Will think about that one.
Thanks |

Can't provide you with any data as to whether it works or not. As I said, we just use it when the punter is insistent that their address appear on the site so we can tell them we've made an effort to hide the address from 'bots.

a contact form is another page/app/thing to maintain, so yup, of course!
Everything is chargeable if it takes more time - whether you want to actually charge it, or charge it but discount it on the invoice as a 'free security upgrade - jeff cares about your online safety' or somesuch is another matter ;-)
Remember, your dentist or lawyer will charge you for all the work they do for you - respond in kind ;-) |

this is a useful book if you can get hold of a copy, even a soft copy. It's slightly dated, but has lots of relevent information for small startup/solo development companies. It's not about code, but about the business structures and workflows around running a small coding business.
I bought all 3 editions over time, and it helped me get things straight in my head a bit. I still reccommend it highly. |

Those look good with have to take a look. I definantly am glad for some of my previous business experiance. At the age of 18 I managed a restaraunt. I have also had a side business for a while I ran a ebay company turning them into a power seller. This has helped me alot at the undertanding the inner workings of businesses in general.
Those books look really good for the specifics of coding. Thanks Paddy. |
