in reply to Email anti-harvester code
where the class "hidden" is defined as:somebody@<span class=hidden>#NOSPAM#</span>example.com
Any CSS-capable browser (and most are, these days) will hide the noise. If the user is viewing the page in a non-CSS browser, or is cutting and pasting the address, it should be obvious how to de-munge it. But a spambot probably won't even recognize it as an e-mail address. (They usually seem to look for patterns like /[-.\w]+@[-.\w]+\.$tld/, where $tld is a list of top-level domains.).hidden { display: none; visibility: hidden; }
One important thing to remember is that you should not copy the example exactly. Change the name of the class, change the bogus string, add other <span> tags so the spambots can't filter out those, etc. Remember, diversity is the best defence against parasites of all kinds.
