How to hide your email address?

This documnet shows you how to hide your email address from the robots and the email thieves so that you can stop getting junk email!

Let's first have a look at three different traditional ways of coding in HTML to create a clickable email link for the users. Here are the examples:

  1. Please contact us by email: GeorgeBush@yahoo.com.

    2. <a href="mailto: GeorgeBush@yahoo.com"> GeorgeBush@yahoo.com</a>

  2. You may contact us for more information

    <a href="mailto:GeorgeBush@yahoo.com?subject=More information"> more information</a>

  3. Please send me the password

    4. Please send me the <a href="mailto:GeorgeBush@yahoo.com?subject=password&body=Please send me you password. I do not mind waiting for a few days."> password</a>

    By showing your email address like this, computer robots and email thieves can easily steal your email address and send you lots of junk and unwanted email.

    To protect your email address from those crazy people, you can use a JavaScript to hide your true email address and reduce the risk of getting junk email.

    var Hostname = "yahoo.com";
    document.write("<a href=" + "mail" + "to:" + Loginid + "@" + Hostname + ">" +
    ClickableLink + "</a>")
    //-->
    </script>
