Hide email address on Web Forms

M

Mary

I need to hide the email address that is embedded when
using a FP Web form so that it can not be seen when a
doing a Source/View. We're getting spammed to the email
address that our webform is supposed to be storing data
to.

TIA for any ideas and how to hide the save results to
(e-mail address removed) from spammers and prying eyes.

In order to hide the email address, you can't use the FP Form Handler, you
would have to use a server-side Form Handler written in ASP, PHP or
CGI-Perl.

This may work but I'm not sure. The idea is to use a separate form to submit to the FP Form Handler.

1) Create and Save your form page.

2) Make a copy of the form page.

3) Open the copy using Notepad (Right-Click/Open With...).

4) Remove the webbot-action="--WEBBOT-SELF--" and the two <!--webbot bot= tags

5) Save the copy.

6) Point your users to the copy.

As long as the original form page is not linked, the spiders can't find it to rip the email address.

Let me know.
