Hi,

This is probably out of the realms of "straight" html, but here goes.

Does anyone know of a browser safe method to prevent spam harvesters
from chomping through a website to obtain email addresses?

I can do it in JavaScript, but I'm trying to ditch the JS I have from
the website.

As I see it, the problem is that if the harvester chomps page by page
looking for <a href="mailto:...">...</a> then it doesn't matter if the
solution is PHP/MySQL generated or inserted via some cgi script via a
server side include (or similar), the address will still be there.

I don't want to resort to anything too evil...

TTFN

Paul
