Worked for me.

I guess the spam bots aren't interested in my sites. So far it seems to be working OK

Eric, your test works for me also, but somehow I can't translate that to working on my page: http://wa-chur-ed.com/Contact.html Comparing the html for these 2 pages the only relevant difference I can see is that I added an alignment <p>, but I've tested it without that and got the same results.

Why are you putting it inside the <p align="center"> script</p>
You don't need that with VSD.
Just paste the code and move it where you want it.
Plus you have your email listed below your script. Delete that also.

I'm not an expert on VSD, and I don't know the obfuscation script that you are using, but it seems to me that something is missing here:



I would have expected some code or js to represent the actual link.

BTW, have you thought of using the CC Formbuilder to make a form for messages from potential clients?

Eric, Huh? Where do you see the e-mail address? I've done a search in both the source file and the browser's "view source" and don't find it. Regarding the "align", yeah, I agree that in this method it's not needed, but it also doesn't make any difference.

Inger, well, I agree that I would expect something to be there. VSD defines an "object" with the javascript in it, but there is no reference to the object later. Of course, I don't think other objects are referenced either. I have no idea how this is supposed to work.

I'll take a look at Formbuilder.

Thanks,

Try clicking the email script html box then hitting alt + f, then publish and test.
Also you need to make adjustments to your paragraphs.

Just for testing try putting that first couple of paragraphs in their own text box as the support article states so they don't overlap your email script.

Eric, sorry for being dense, but I'm not sure what you mean by "click the email script html box". Do you mean within VSD or in the browser? If the former, does this "box" refer to the html object within the document? In either case, alt + f doesn't do anything interesting.

What browser are you using? I just tried it in IE and it seems to work there. Previously, the link function worked in IE but the text did not display correctly - not sure why this changed. I notice that when you even mouse over the object the e-mail address shows up, which suggests that the browser has already run the script and that seems odd to me. I use Firefox - that is where I see the problem of the "dead link".

Regarding the paragraphs, yes, it should be fixed to break up the text boxes around the image. I put the image in the middle as a quick fix to a formatting problem (as far as I can tell, VSD does not support tables, right?). I adjusted the spacing by previewing in Firefox, but even without the javascript problem this might not look the same in all browsers, so I'll fix it as recommended.

I just had a play with this on my site. That's when I noticed I had used a different script for this site than my others. It's from Dynamic Drive:
http://www.dynamicdrive.com/emailriddler/

Anyway, I tried the Enkoder. Very simple... Opened VSD's insert HTML tool and pasted the code straight from Enkoder into it. Works fine, looks like gibberish in the source code (just as with the D. Drive script).

Using the Web Dev toolbar though, I can see what the email address is (doesn't matter the script used – they all show) Hopefully the bots just run through the source code and don't see anything of interest.


Phototwist, the <p> and what-not may be causing a conflict with how VSD wants to do things. All VSD sees is a paragraph – not a link. If you don't want to just drag the HTML box to where you want it, you may have to use a bit more code on this (in the HTML box, do the whole <style type="text/css"> and create a class for your <p>) so your styles will over-ride VSD. Not sure how well it will work with the paragraph within a script....
The simplest method does work

I've removed the "<p align... /p>" elements and uploaded the revised file. It now displays as positioned in VSD, but (as I said before), this has no effect on the functionality of the link: It works in IE, but not in Firefox.
