Hello all,

I have built a WFB contact form that a customer can use to contact several individuals in the company. To do this, I used a drop down box that contain the name of each individual to be reached . . . that works great. The only issue that bothers me is that all the email addresses are listed in the HTML created for the form. A simple "view frame source" reveals all the emails to anyone might want them.... see sample code below;

<div class="fb-dropdown">
<select id="item23_select_1" name="MSI_Contact" data-hint="" required>
<option id="item23_0_option" value="" selected>
Choose one
</option>
<option id="item23_1_option" value="abc@abc123.com">
President - John Smith
</option>
<option id="item23_2_option" value="def@abc123.com">
Operations Manager - Jane Smith
</option>
<option id="item23_3_option" value="ghi@abc123.com">
Sales Vice President - John Doe
</option>
</select>
</div>

Does anyone know of a work around so my customers emails are not wide open to bots and right clicks?

Thanks

Far as I know there is no 100% fool proof method. But, you can make it difficult for the casual hacker ...

Thanks for the reply Gunsmoke!

I was wondering if one of those email encoder would work with the form.
the one I found at -- http://www.wbwip.com/wbw/emailencoder.html turns support@coffeecup.com to; &#115;&#117;&#112;&#112;&#111;&#114;&#116;&#064;&#099;&#111;&#102;&#102;&#101;&#101;&#099;&#117;&#112;&#046;&#099;&#111;&#109;

Has anyone tried this?

Thanks

Okay, just had a look at that. Interesting.

In WFB if you use the 'email' box and put the code in the placeholder then WFB renders it as the actual email when viewed in the browser. But if you view the page source the code is displayed and not the actual email. Should stop most harvesters I think. However, you still need to put the actual email into the settings. WFB will not accept the code because it is looking for a properly formatted email.

I entered the code into an HTML box in WFB and it works like a champ. It displays the email when viewed in the browser but if you view the page source then all you get is the code. So, if you just want to include and email link then this looks like it will work. Your email that you put in the settings does not come up if you display the page source. At least it didn't for me.

Thanks for sharing that link!
