Hiding email address from spambots

Neat article on how to hide e-mail addresses from spambots:
http://www.phoenity.com/newtedge/hide_email_spambots/
To date I have always used a Javascript, but it doesn't work with XHTML,
however this CSS hack works fine with XHTML, and will protect e-mail
addresses from being collected.

As IE doesn't currently support the CSS used, this technique is of
very little use on today's web.

That's quite dumbassed.

1. Relies on CSS that's only supported in Gecko and Presto. Won't work
in,
say, IE or in user agents that don't have CSS support.
2. Breaks seperation of content (HTML) and presentation (CSS).

My technique:
http://examples.tobyinkster.co.uk/email-hide

Uses Javascript, but doesn't *completely* break in non-Javascript user
agents.

Damn! It works fine with XHTML!
I had to add a //<![CDATA[ tag though because I had a nasty debug screen.
Thank you!

Actually it works fine as XHTML application in Opera and IE, but not in
Firefox.

LOL I was thinking about adding www.alltheweb.com, because it's a very
good search engine IMHO, but ENOUGH IS ENOUGH!!!
