For a site we just recently started I have decided to implement a nice little method to (hopefully) stop our email being picked up by spammers. See below link for the example: Wheelsr Contact Form Simply put, you click on a link and via ajax it gets the email address and places it in the position you just clicked on. The thoughts of this is that spammers scripts won't get the email as you would need javascript working plus have to actually 'click' on the link to get the email address. Yes I know there are people out there not using JS and I am a big believer in usability but I believe in this instance that there is such a small percentile out there without JS on that this will truly affect. That and this IMO is better then having the email address as an image which does make it hard for those without a text reader to use. What are peoples opinions on this as I plan to release this method as a library along with the captcha method we have built for it as well. |
