I just wanted to add a small note. If you use JavaScript and it spread around - I am sure spammers not gonna sleep on it for long. They'll include this thing in their harvesters and tomorrow it'll stop working. JavaScript is the bad choice for many reasons.
I personally have it off 99% of the time and I won't be able to use your procedure as a visitor to your site.
Second it has no protection against "big guys".
And it's just bad for your site security...
I have spiders written (not for spam reason) that actually kill JavaScripts and harvest valuable information from it as URLs and procedures or forwarding.
Regards.
Mark.
