Email Encoder Avoid Email Spam

Email Encoder Avoid Email Spam
If you're receiving spam email every day, your email address is probably being harvested by the spambot or spam spider. It happens when you publish email address on your web page, although you're not going to make it a mailto email hyperlink but the @ sign is attracting them. The spambot are collecting email through your web page source and in order to defend your mailbox you should start work out on these file such as html, php etc.

One of the easiest way to protect your email is publish your email like yourname(a)domain(dot)com or yourname @ domain.com, but it is not user friendly for me as I need to modify the (a) to @, the (dot) or closing the spaces between the @ sign before I can send it out.

A more advance method is using Java Script to scribble the email address in the html source file. However, you may not able to edit the html's <head>/strong> sections when you're publishing your web site using the online sitebuilder or CMS software. Some scripts require a Java load command in the <head> section.

For the email encoder method, it changes your email address from ASCII code to Hex code. E.g.: yourname@domain.com will be encoded into &#121;&#111;&#117;&#114;&#110;&#097;.

Just copy and paste these code into your html file and it'll show up a normal email address in your browser. This method makes your web site user friendly and no script modification in your html files.
