Default HREF code - On Submit to stop spam


HI

I have a feedback form with a submit button that send an e mail to us.

To stop spam mails I have (from www.siteup.com) got an encloded e mail
address that works fine - you can see the e mail address and the "mailto"
works fine but if you go into view source the mail address is not there.
Good so far.

So, question - how can I get this code so that it's behind the submit button

this is the code

<A HREF="mailto:info@ukoutdoorpursuits.co.uk">

info@ukoutdoorpursuits.co.uk</A>

I am trying to take off my e mail address from the form but can't work out
how to get this code to work like the e mail address on submit

Thank you

You can't if you want the FP extensions to process the form.

Thank you I will just use the code on the contact us page.

Is there a way to do something like this (hide it from spamers) on a
feedback form

Thank you

Not if you use the FP extensions to process the form.
If you write your own form handler (or modify a pre-written script) then
the email address can be incorporated in the script, and never be seen
by anyone viewing the website.

You'd need to post the form to another page that handles to emailing via
script and isn't visible to the spammers.

If you're on a Windows server this is easy to do with asp or aps.net.

Ha Ha, sorry but I'm an access DB programmer (and for some reason they have
told me to run the websites - OMG) - trying really hard to get my head around
web sites though.

Is there a web page that gives a step by step for this "easy" process
