function mailTo() {
// Copyright 2006 Professional Website Design.
// For other useful scripts and tutorials, see

// You may use or modify the script in any way
// you want, but do not remove the first two
// lines above. Although it's not required, I
// would appreciate an email to let me know
// the URL of the page where you used it.
// The purpose of the mailTo script is to prevent
// email link harvesting by spammer's robots.
// Nothing shows in the file where this is used,
// other than an empty 'span' element. The mailto
// link is added dynamically, and will not show
// up even when you "View Source".
// A user having Javascript disabled will not see
// or be able to use the email link. This is
// necessary in order to achieve the script's
// stated purpose.
// To add a mailto link to your webpage, just:
// 1) Save this script as mailTo.js , or whatever
// else you want to call it. Be sure to include
// the window.onload statement AFTER the function.
// 2) Put the following in the "head" section of
// your webpage:
//
// 3) Put the following code in your webpage wherever
// you want the link to appear.
//
// 4) Substitute your own email address for the one
// in the line below.
var email = "recipient@website.com";
if (!document.getElementById("mailTo")) return false;
var spanobj = document.getElementById("mailTo");
var anch = document.createElement("a");
var mailto = "mailto:" + email;
anch.setAttribute("href",mailto);
spanobj.appendChild(anch);
var txt = document.createTextNode(email);
anch.appendChild(txt);
}
window.onload = mailTo;
I appreciate your comments
