    What are the best practices for securing email address or other contact info’s in your html page from email harvesters, spammers and the like?

    Or any helpful tips about security.

    Thanks..

    I would say just create a contact form on your page that uses php to send you an email with the form info. User then has no information to your email address …
    …if you want an example go to my page and click contact me:

    I personally convert my email to unicode using this converter: http://www.pinnacledisplays.com/unicode-converter.htm

    So [email protected] would become:test@test.com

    Thanks @windowsdan for the blast of music.

    If you can’t run PHP on your site due to your hosting plan, the secure way is to use a third party like Wufoo. From there you can build your form and at the end use the html/css option to customize it more to your liking.

    Thanks. I like @joshuanibbert’s tool, straight and simple.
    I won’t mark this as SOLVED because I know there are still more ways of doing it so I’ll just leave it open.

    Thanks again. Advance Merry Christmas too.
