Nice, the code was removed, logic was

noscript
img src=”imagecreation.php?codedemail@here.com

The email fed to the image cration script would then have some letter switching, simple as a=c, c=b,c=a and such would be enough – than other way around server side.

The noscript function should simply be something like:A simple switching of letters and other way around serverside, and voila a perfect sollution! To bad I dont have my own blog up, I could have made myself some bonus hits by adding this feature! Alright, I just got the perfect sollution to make everyone happy here.

Remember about tools that disable JS, which user can install (i.e. as Firefox add-on). It's not a bad idea to use this stuff - if you launch browser from admin account (everything else in WinXP is pain in the ass), you can still suffer from "evil" scripts. And what about work? Some of us have blocked scripts doing their jobs. Kim => IMHO worrying about users that don’t have JS enabled is NOT just old-fashioned.

Myself I still have doubts about anything that isnt compatible with a none js browser - however I must be thinking like a dinosaur now.I used that argument like 5 years ago, it cannot possibly still be valid! Most parsers can't possible see this, even if theoretical possible as they wouldt need to render the page which gives enourmous overhead when scarping say a million webpages. I am pretty sure you eliminate 99% of scrapers this way. This is probably a great idea to implement on our customers webpages, as an option for them to enable.

The safety lies in the fact that hopefully it doesn't get too popular, or finding your own ways to slightly tweak it.
