Email Encryption

[JW]

I am using javascript to encrypt email addresses in a website, in an effort
to cut down on spam. I also have a FP form that is delivered by email. Is it
possible to encrypt the email address within the "Form Property" window, or
directly into the "S-Email-Address" HTML created by "Form Property"? I made
an unsuccessful attempt, but I wasn't sure whether it was a capability
problem or poor javascript skills. If it should work, I would appreciate any
suggestions.
Thanks for your help,
JW

No, that information cannot be encrypted as there is no way for the server
extensions to decrypt it.

You can't encrypt it, but you can "bounce" the form to hide the page where
the email lies.

Do this: Make form, confirmation is a _COPY_ of that form, which then
points to the thank you page. The copy sends the email with the form data.
The original form dumps to a file that you can either ignore, or delete
later or whatever.

When a user or bot loads the page they will not get the email address (it's
on a different page), when they submit, the exe file for the FP extensions
submits both the files without ever loading the copy in the user's browser.
(I.e. they never get sent the code with the email address in it) Both forms
get submitted (and email sent) and the user gets the thank you page.

It's a bug in the FrontPage extensions, but I have been using this in
various ways for years with no problems.
