Default Re: Anyone else getting slammed by eBay scammers?

The problem with hiding your email address behind a graphic, as done on this site's home page, is that the visitor has to type in the address by hand instead of simply clicking on a link. So this technique might work fine with a simple-to-type address like [email protected] but breaks down with an address like [email protected] which is Eric's address on his home page.

Here's a better way:

1. First, select and copy the HTML code below, no more no less, from '<a' to 'a>':

[ QUOTE ]
<a href="javascript:location='mailto:\u0076\u006e\u00 74\u0067\u006d\u0073\u0063\u006c\u0063\u0061\u0072 \u0070\u0061\u0072\u0074\u0073\u0040\u0077\u006f\u 0068\u002e\u0072\u0072\u002e\u0063\u006f\u006d';vo id 0">Eric Jackson</a>

[/ QUOTE ]

2. Edit your home page and replace your email address with the HTML code you copied in Step 1.

3.

Denis;

Thanks! Took me a while, but I figured out how to enter HTML code on the page.
