how to protect from spam/harvesting?
Hello. Is there a way to allow my site visitors to email me, without putting my email address at risk of harvesting and spam? The form tutorial I watched would allow my email address to be viewable in the html code. Thanks for your help!

new2voda,
Via php script is the way to go . Check here for details;

Look under contct mail to. One has the php portion embeded in the html page and one has the php script page seperate and then re-directs after the processing to the confirmation page. In either case- your e-mail address will not be visable.

Which kind did you use for the 'contact Keith' form/page on your site? Embedded in html or php separate? Thanks!Comment

new2voda,
I used the one where you embed the php in the page created with BV. It is the easiest of the two.

hey David-
I put the computer section in the I-Frame like Navaldesign- could that be the problem?
Let me know because if it will inhibit people seeing the section- I will put it back to the way it was.

Re: how to protect from spam/harvesting?
Thanks for your help. I got the contact info done, but am now having a problem with the navigation bar. The link name from the main (index) page to my contact page and back from contact to index seems to be switching between 'contact me' and 'home page', either as it has loaded or when the mouse hovers over it. The info looks correct in the BV webbuilder saved pages, but the published pages don't match the saved pages. I tried re-saving and re-publishing repeatedly, and it comes up with a variety of combinations but still doesn't seem to match the saved versions. Any ideas? Here is my site link www.yourcalifornianotary.com
Thanks,

Try emptying your temp files and view your site again. It is working fine for me.

Hi Theri,
I cannot see exactly what you mean as your home page and the link to your contact page are working fine.
All the other links I tried worked as well.....loaded fast......good content....
We have notarios here as well in spain so good luck with your venture and

Have funComment

Re: how to protect from spam/harvesting?
Personally, since I sell products - I'll deal with the spam in order to make it as easy as possible for customers to contact me. If you are not in a business where that ease is important - then the method above is definitely the way to go.Comment

Re: how to protect from spam/harvesting?
I deleted cookies, and temp files, and still see the wrong wording on the top link of this page www.yourcalifornianotary.com/contact.html The top link goes back to my index page, but the visible wording says 'contact me'. Does anyone else see this?Comment

Re: how to protect from spam/harvesting?
Yes now that you mention it.
The url on your contact button is pointing to your index page.
OR your home button is named "Contact" !!!!!!!!!!!!Comment

Re: how to protect from spam/harvesting?
Thanks for checking. Exactly the problem. My index page's contact button may say contact me or home page, depending on what it is doing at that moment, but does go to the correct page.....the contact page. The contact me page's button may say home page or contact me....depending.....but does go to the correct page....the home page. I don't know what to do to make it load properly.
Thanks for the encouragement in my business, by the way.Comment
