Encrypt email addresses on the fly

[lexa1999]

I am working on a site that is coded in cold fusion. Does anyone have any suggestions for how to encrypt email addresses dymanically? That is, I am pulling the email addresses out of a database.

So it look like this: Email address: #email#

I want to encrypt or encode the #email# output so that bots/spammers cannot harvest.

Thanks-

This will be difficult as the address is coming from a DB and would require changing there and then. Can you do this at the back end or are you tied to a client side solution?

Hey BlobFisk-

I can do it either on the backend or the front end.

Thanks.

If you have the email-adress '[e-mail]' (not-real) you can encrypt it as javascript:

<script language='JavaScript'>
<!--
var c='r',k='o',n='d',i='e',h='k',m='.',o='k',e='g',a='a',b='d',g='k',d='@',f='o',j='s',l='k';
document.write('<a href="mailto:'+a+b+c+d+e+f+g+h+i+j+k+l+m+n+o+'">'+a+b+c+d+e+f+g+h+i+j+k+l+m+n+o+'</a>');
//-->
</script>

Should be easy to make an algorithm that shuffles the 'var' letters.
If this is not good enough take a look at:

Thank you Kneppi. I just have to figure out how to implement this with the database--
