How to hide email address without using Javascript?

T

Thomas A. Rowe

The animate.js file is not used by the FP Java Hover button applet, which is what cause the ActiveX
warning message.

The animate.js file is only use when you select one or more of the FP DHTML Effects.

Hover buttons are not JavaScript, they are Java. The Active X message is a
result of clicking on them.

| Hi Ronx,
|
| I cannot give out that link becuase it's a commercial site that I am
working
| on. However. . .
|
| At least I found what was causing the javascript "bark". It was the
| FrontPage "hover buttons" that I had used. Those buttons actually
genereate,
| and use, a little legitimate Microsoft file called "animate.js" . I
romoved
| the hover buttons and replaced them with normal hyperlinks, and the
"barking"
| is now gone. There's no more ActiveX warning on that page now either.
|
| Always something isn't it ?

Not sure what Murray means about 'not accessible at all.' I use this on both
my webs and one can always reach the .htm page where the graphic addresses
are.

: Not terribly accessible, though. In fact, it's not at all accessible.

Hi All,

For what it's worth, I found that when in Design mode, if you have
javascript on you page, and if you just higlight and delete that little
little yellow square with the "J" in it that stands for java", it leaves the
following (see below) piece of code that will still prompt the user with that
ActiveX warning bar. Here's what you have to remove via "Code" view:

<noscript>
<p>JavaScript is required to view this email address
</p></noscript>

Did I mention in any of the above threads that the ActiveX warning bar would
also pop up when I had links that used hover buttons? I removed the hover
buttons and just made standard links to correct that "bark".

I don't know if this means anything to Microsoft, and I mean to be
consultive and certainly not confrontive here, but I know of one corporate
individual who dumped IE for another well known browser, just because they
were annoyed by all the warning hoops that IE was beginning to make them jump
through. I explained the security aspect to them but they didn't seem to
care: it was just seen as some type of technical problem with the browser.

Brcobrem

Thank you for that clarification Thomas.

Apparently, my little bit of research produced only a little bit of
knowledge :->

I will put this in my big book of things to remember.

Hi Tom,

It was my experience that the ActiveX warning bar was presented to the site
visitor just by opening the page the had hover buttons on it. But I could be
wrong here: it is possible that I was moving the mouse up from the bottom of
the page and inadvertently hovered over them on the way to deal with the
ActiveX warning bar.

Thank you for the knowledgeable reply.

Regards,
Brcobrem

Hi Murray,

After further thought and consideration, I decided not to use the "graphics"
approach for now (due to limited time for the project). I fell back to one of
the non-java "code generator" approaches. If they start getting new levels of
spam, I will be able to tell which pages the spam picked up on because of the
different email aliases that would be received. Sort of like the typical
widget_sales@no_spam.com email address alias that everyone uses. The mail
actually is redirected to a specific real person.

Regards,
Brcobrem

Oops, I do see that I mentioned the hover button issue in a previous thread.
Sorry,
Brcobrem

I mean if you are concerned with Section 508 accessibility compliance, your
method will fail. A graphic is unreadable by a screen reader. To make it
work for screen readers or assistive devices, you would have to put the
information in the alt attribute, which would defeat the whole purpose.
Thus - it's not accessible.

DSG

Okay, I see what you mean. I haven't yet gotten to study everything
available for training, and gotten to this part about accessibility, which I
believe in. We do cope with lots of things. So then we decide if we will
deny accessibility via a screen reader for a few, or will we deny myriad
potential illicit producers of unwanted (very unwanted) popup ads, etc.,
and those who sell our email addresses all over the world. Thanks for
replying. Not trying to be disagreeable, but we can make choices.

You are assuming those are your only two choices, though. They are not.
There is a third option - do it with server scripted forms, instead of
giving people email addresses. Spam bots cannot get at those at all.
 
D

DSG

I guess you might say I'm really representing those who are not working on
commercial sites, or who can buy into a domain (one example is
not-for-profit organizations) and are often relegated to web space that
comes with an ISP's Internet subscription. On most of these, the servers
have no tools for forms and other such tools. I admit the graphic email
addresses are fairly klunky to use, but they are the poor-man's solution to
protecting against money-hungry intruders. I just appreciate that this can
be done in FrontPage. Thanks, Murray.

Just use a simple Webform and I bet you that your ISP should have
standard scripts on their servers to process the form using SENDMAIL
program on their unix server. The default location for sendmail program
is:

/usr/sbin/sendmail
OR
/usr/bin/sendmail

You just need to have an action in the form tag as follows:

<form method=post action="yourISP.com/forms?login=YourUsername">

Sometimes you don't even need this and IE will use your customer's email
client to process the form. Your customer will nodoubt know your email
if this happens!

I suggest try with a sample form and use Yahoo's (or other free
websites') server to test this technique.

Hope this helps.

Your ISP would have nothing to do with this. And the defaults might only
work on *nix systems.

ISPs have standard CGI/Scripts for its customers to use. Didn't I say
"process the form using SENDMAIL program on their unix server" somewhere
in my message? This implies "defaults might only work on *nix systems".

I doubt if the OP is using "Dedicated Server" to host his two page
website!! so it has everything to do with ISP wich is hosting the
website.

Surely you mean "hosts" not ISPs?
