Lightweight JavaScript email address obfuscation
Use revealme.js in your web page so you can include a link to your email address without having to actually write it out. If you're worried about getting spam because you'd like to put your email address on a publicly accessible page, this script is for you.
Note: this script won't stop you getting spam, but it will make it much harder for automated scripts to harvest an email address from your pages.
- Include revealme.js in your html
<script type="text/javascript" src="revealme.js"></script>- Add email addresses to you HTML in a phonetic form, and encapsulate them in the revealme class.
<p>My email address <span class="revealme">jessie dot wongus at example hyphen domain dot com</span></p>- Email addresses will be automatically converted to a link and obfuscated.
Example:
My email address is jessie.w...main.com (click to reveal)
Once the address has been clicked, the email address will be revealed with a properly formatted mailto link.
My email address is jessie.wongus@example-domain.com
