Re: Hiding mail addresses in mailto: with JavaScript

Also, you might want to consider the /i in your regex to avoid typing the case combinations: /[hH][rR][eE][fF]/ is better done /href/i -- at least it's better for your fingers ;)

He who asks will be a fool for five minutes, but he who doesn't ask will remain a fool for life.

Thanks for that hint and for caring about my fingers ;-) but I thought that `/[hH][rR][eE][fF]/` was cheaper than `/href/i`. Am I wrong on that? alex pleiner <alex@zeitform.de> zeitform Internet Dienste	[reply] [d/l] [select]

Your original regex may be cheaper than the one that uses the `i` option, but the difference is so miniscule as to not matter. At that point, clarity is more important than speed. --t. alex Life is short: get busy!	[reply] [d/l]
