How does "E-mail us" works?

Freeway
1

I see in some sites made with Freeway an “E-mail us” button, and looking at the source code there is no e-mail address showing.

Example: www.thegourmetdog.com

How is this accomplished, is it an action?

Thanks for any help

It is there in the code:

mailto:#111;#114;#100;#101;#114;#115;#64;#116;#104;#101;#103;#111;#117;#114;"

It just doesn’t look like an email address because FW5 has an option in File>Document Setup> Output Email Hiding:Encode with Entities which converts your email address

kitesurfer(@)yoursite.com

to the gobbledy gook above.

Thanks David,

I can’t use:

File>Document Setup> Output Email Hiding:Encode with Entities which converts your email address

because I would need a “script” in the CGI server to translate, or something of the sort.
I am a learning newbie, I would need to be pointed to where I can get a sample “script” to include in the server.

Can someone help?

Thanks a lot in advance!

Take a look at this example html link page. This is more or less what is going on with the mail to: link except that Freeway also scrambles the return address so it cannot be harvested.

If it is a simple ‘mail to’ link then there is no CGI scripting involved and any browser will read the encoded email address.
