The Email Obfuscator is a product, meant for webmaster, that hides emailaddresses published on websites, so that they can not be harvested by spambots.

The Email Obfuscator makes sure that your emailaddress remains clickable, just as if you were not using the Email Obfuscator at all.

The only requirement is that the webbrowser of the visitor supports javascript. The Email Obfuscator generates a noscript tag (with your personal text) that few visitors without javascript-support will see.

Your emailaddress is encoded within the sourcecode of your website. Whenever a visitor clicks the link, a javascript function will decode the encoded text. At the moment, most spambots only interprete the sourcecode of websites and do not execute javascript functions.

A spambot cannot know which javascript-function will reveal an emailaddress. This is the reason why the names of the javascript-functions do not include the words ‘email’. Each hint given to a spambot is a hint too many.

For now, your emailaddress is safe when you use the Email Obfuscator. It only gets dangerous when spambots get aware of this Email Obfuscator and start searching for it or when spambots start executing every javascript function they discover.
