E-mail Obfuscator is at the bottom of this
page.
E-mail Obfuscator is an online tool for webmasters that obfuscates
e-mail addresses that you enter, making them less vulnerable to spammers
who use e-mail harvesting software, also called spam-bots.
E-mail Obfuscator generates HTML source code for a link which
uses the obfuscated version of the e-mail address you entered. You can
simply cut and paste this source code into your HTML editor.
Browser Compatibility
The source code generated by E-mail Obfuscator is compatible
with all major browsers, including the browsers listed below. The E-mail
Obfuscator tool itself is compatible with the browsers listed below:
- Internet Explorer 5.0 and above
- Netscape 6.0 and above
- Mozilla 1.0 and above
- Opera 7.0 and above
Instructions for use
- In the first field — "E-mail address", enter the e-mail address
you want to have obfuscated. For example:
- In the second field — "Optional Display Text", enter the text
you want to have the user see associated with the e-mail address in
the hyperlink that is generated. For example:
The Webmaster
- As its name implies, the "Optional Display Text" field is optional.
If you leave it empty, E-mail Obfuscator will use the obfuscated
version of the e-mail address entered in the "E-mail address" field.
- Press the "Generate Obfuscated E-mail Link" button. This
will create an anchor tag containing an obfuscated e-mail link using
the information you provided in the steps above in the "Obfuscated
E-mail Link HTML" text area. Additionally, a pop-up window will
come up entitled "Link Tester." The link in the pop-up window
was created with the code in the "Obfuscated E-mail Link HTML" text
area. Clicking on the link in the popup window is useful for determining
if the link you just created is exactly what you want.
- Press the "Select Text" button. This will select the text
in the "Generate Obfuscated E-mail Link" text area. Copy the
text to the clipboard and then paste it into your HTML editor. In Windows
operating systems, you can do this by pressing Control—>C to
copy the text into the clipboard from the text area and Control—>V
to paste the text from the clipboard into your HTML editor.
Note: keep all of the code that E-mail Obfuscator generates
on the same line in your HTML editor. Spanning the code across lines
may cause the link to be displayed improperly.
- If you wish to create another obfuscated e-mail link, you can do so
more efficiently by clicking on the "Reset" button. This clears
all the text in the form.
