I have added a mailto link on every page of my new site. But when I hit the link not only does it open my e-mail program but it also works as a link to a new page with nothing in it except for:

mailto:myemailadres@myemailadres.com

If you want to take a look feel free to do so at:
at the top right you see three links called home - e-mail - log-in.

This is the code used to create the mailto link:
<A class=verdana7FFFFFFFFFFFFt
href="javascript:document.location='mai'+'lto:'+'a'+'bu'+'a@a'+'b'+'ua.'+'nl';">e-mail</A>

What am I doing wrong because this new page ought not to be opened?

I just create my mailto-links as usual and use the encoder on the completed,exported .html/.htm pages as directed and have never had any problems. I use the encoder to do many pages at once.

Porky... not sure what you are trying to tell me... I created a mailto: link as Davide suggested and added the obfuscation to it... rejected. But if I take a HTML object and add the verbage and link, it works great! So, I'm really not sure what you are saying, sorry...
jtarin Posted - 13 Apr 2008 : 13:14:09
The program works on mail-links in an already html coded page....not by encoding then adding.

Try

http://www.softpedia.com/get/Internet/E-mail/Mail-Utilities/Obfusticated-Email-Link-Creator.shtml

It's simple and free.

rmmarsh Posted - 12 Apr 2008 : 15:34:45
Porky: that's the same program that Davide suggested...

I figured out the problem... it does NOT work with the link as Davide suggested; it has to be an HTML object. Works like a champ now!

Try this one:

Use download link at bottom of page.

Davide: I tried your suggestion of creating a mailto: link and adding my email address encoded with "antispamencoder". It keeps getting rejected because it is not in the format user@host.

Did this work at some time and now does not? How do I fix it?
s.dav Posted - 31 Jul 2006 : 08:44:51
The simpler way is by creating a link prefixed with

mailto:

and adding your email address encoded with this program:

I understand that if I want to create a contact-button on my website for e-mail-contact, I can:
- insert a button-object (list left on the screen);
- make Value = Contact
- open within the object the event editor;
- choose the event Onclick;
- choose the action Javacall;
and then I have to insert the Java-code in the field Java call.

But it's not quite clear for me which code I have to fill in.
(or does I have to learn HTML and Java?)
The codes
<a href="javascript:document.location='mai'+'lto:'+'a'+'3s@c'+'ai'+'way'+'.nl';">e-mail</a>
(for the e-mail-adress a3s@caiway.nl)
or
<a href="mailto:'mai'+'lto:'+'a'+'3s@c'+'aiw'+'ay.'+'nl';">email</a>
give a HTML-page-result with a button and the following text (besides the button):
email;return false;" value="Contact">

Because the phrase "mailto:" and an explicit mail address are detected by webbots scanning your pages for legitimate email addresses to add to their spam list.

Hi everybody!

Why is this method subject of spam?

Davide using the "OnClick"/"JavaCall" event my dialogue is only able to accept a limited amount of characters. What do you recommend when the script is longer in length? Edit by hand the finished HTML?

I'm a new user to the program and I found this thread while trying to create a simple "contact" link that will open up the browsers email program. I don't quite follow what you guys are doing here, but this worked for me--so, in case someone needs it:
create a label, open the link wizard, choose "file on the internet", enter the following: mailto:xxx@xxxyz.com

--Ian
(Great program, Davide, very much enjoying it and learning a lot!)

Hello boys,

I've forgot this topic because I've lost my internet connection :-(

So if you want to avoid the opening of a new window simply write the same code using the "OnClick"/"JavaCall" event ;-)

This because a link always change the current page ;-)

In Mozilla and Firefox it only opens your default mail client. As you outline above its only in Intenet Explorer that this behavior exhibits. Use.. <a href="mailto:'mai'+'lto:'+'al'+'bru'+'na@a'+'br'+'una.'+'nl';">email</a> if you can instead. It seems to work fine that way in IE and your address is still obfuscated.
