Default AntiSpam Mailto: in Forms ? - 08-23-2004 , 05:46 PM






Hello everyone:
I am trying to figure out how to create a spam-proof mailto: within a form.
I've tried using JavaScript but, without success. I'm just missing something.
Below is code from the beginning of my form. Could someone explain what I'm
doing wrong.

Thanks, Bill

var emailname = "bill"
var emailserver = "partiproductions.com"
var subject = "Parti Productions Website Question aire"
form method="post" action="mailto: + emailname + "@" + emailserver +
"?subject=" + subject" enctype="text/plain" name="info" id="login"

Skip the javascript and send the email serverside. It's fully spamproof,
and has the added advantage of not requiring that the user have
javascript enabled and an email client properly configured.
Not necessarily, we still receive spam from our server side comments forms.
We just started getting about 5-10 per week. Of course, it's not as much as
we get through our email accounts, but it just goes to show you nothing is
"fully spamproof".

I don't see how it's possible to grab an email address from server script.
I'll bet that you are getting the 'random' spam at these domains....

They didn't grab the email address, they just used the form to send me spam.

OK, so if I use a server-side script, does anyone have a simple script that
processes the incoming info, sends it to my email address and posts a simple
thankyou page for the user ?

Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Bill
