Emcoda 1.0
Friday, January 30th, 2009 at 11:06 am
Emcoda is a plug-in for Coda, a web development tool built by Panic. We have always put our clients privacy above anything else, and have tried to make it as difficult as possible for spammer to get hold of any email address. One sure-fire way of getting your mailbox full of spam is posting your email address on your website, this is why we have developed Emcoda.
Emcoda simply helps protect email addresses by converting them into encrypted JavaScript code, hiding them from email-harvesting robots, while revealing them to real people.
All Coda users have to do is… select the email address within your page, OR an email address and link separated by a comma e.g.email@domain.com, Click here to email us – and select emcoda from the plug-ins menu. Emcoda will convert the copy into encrypted JavaScript, helping us reduce the chances of future spam attacks.

I guess I’m not getting something. Using this example “stjaytheatre@yahoo.com” if I select “stjaytheatre@yahoo.com” it will function and look right on the page, but the email is also in the href=mailto section. Can’t that still be harvested by spammers? If I select the email address in the herf it displays with extra symbols like this on the page “//”>stjaytheatre@yahoo.com” . Selecting the whole thing displays the email address as a link twice.
What am I not doing right or not understanding?

Hi Paul,
All you need to type is the email address, (without any mailto tags) and then select and use Emcoda.
If you would like the link text to be different from the email address, type your email address followed by a comma, then the link text.

A very useful plug-in, and a neat web site! Will definitely look back soon.

Hey James I love your plugin I use it for ever website I’ve had to have an email on the page. I’m working on a new project now where the text seen on the website is an image e.g.
http://www.domain.com" rel="nofollow">What I’m trying to do is prepopulate the subject line but be able to use your encryption and I haven’t been able to get this to work, do you have a work around I could use? Thanks a bunch!

Hi there,
There currently is no work around, but it a good idea to include an option for a image.
When I next get a second I will try and add this into the script.

LOVE this plugin. I was a little confused how I was supposed to use it until I read the comment about ONLY having the email, not a tags or anything. I would recommend being more clear about that. Other than that fantastic work!
