Ideally I want to display an email address on my page and have it active as a mailto link. Some examples I've seen use JavaScript, some php, some use both, naturally all these are a nuisance to implement although not difficult, naturoally it's a trade off between Spam being more of a nuisance than implementing the code is. o One method I'm trying out at the moment is to embed a JavaScript script tag into my HTML that uses document.write with a regular expression to hide the email address and mailto code. This method isn't ideal as I don't like embedding JavaScript in my HTML and it also invalidates my page. Anyone out there come across this issue regularly and have a nice work around for it that's not too invasive?
