Links and E-mail addresses in forum vs spam bots

BobbyDouglas · #1 29-Feb-2004, 13:54

HTML Code:

<script type="text/javascript">
  document.write( '<a hr' + 'ef="' + 'http://www.domain.com" target="_blank" title="Opens a new browser window.">' + 'www.domain.com</a>' );
</script>

For the forum code here to display a link, why have the '<a hr' + 'ef="' part if you are still going to include the http://www.domain.com part, and even when you have the <noscript> part that displays the link: http://www.domain.com, spam bots will still pick it up.

Why not just have the forum have another way of using javascript to display the links here?

Also, what about displaying e-mail addresses? Maybe someone could write a mod that will make it so e-mail addresses are not seen in the code as well.

Even though domain.com is a single string, I don't think bots are able to follow these js links.

OTOH, the links in the sigs are pure html.
