I am using SQL Server 2000 to store the content of a website. but I am not sure if robots can read the pages and get the email addresses from them.

Does anyone know the answer to this and if the addresses are readable, how I can stop this?

Thanks in advance,

Robots do not really care where the email addresses or the content is coming from as in the end, all is displayed as html, and that is what the robots read. personally, I guess the best method is to have either a form for contact, or display the email address as an image so it can't be read from the source.

If you have scripts that create html pages with the email addresses in them, robots can follow links to the script and pull the email addresses out of the html that's created.

Robots won't just scan a MSSQL db to get email addresses as they don't have access to the login/password for the MSSQL db.

First of all thanks for the help!

Here is my solution:


 <body>

  <form name="Form1" method="post" id="Form1">

   <a href="javascript: mailto('blake', 'rheinsitemedia.de');">Test</a>

  </form>

  <script language="javascript">
function mailto(empfanger, domain)
{
window.open('mailto:' + empfanger +  mailto:@ - '@'  + domain)
}
</script>
</body>

this works a treat.
