Re: Explain to me - slowly

These days, the only way to place your email address on a website, is with serious obfuscation, either as a picture, character encoded, or script encrypted.

NB. Character encoding is suspected to now be broken by some email harvesters.
I've also experimented with a series of "float:right" SPANS, as they stack at the right, in the reverse order - so you'd float - domainname.com , @ , username - and they'd stack up in the right order - and you'd make each piece a link to the obfuscated script.

More simply, if you insist on script being enabled, you can write it into the document, but it should still be obfuscated, even if you use an external script.

At no point, should a readable email address appear within the code, and just breaking it up with pointless tags is no guarantee, as any harvester may simply drop all tags.
