does anyone know how to read website code ??

TornadoTom

I placed a link in my website to enable people to contact me. I disguised the email address with some code so spammers/bots/spiders cant see it.
problem is....The email address is no longer valid and I need to remove it or replace it with the new address.
Plus, I'm not sure what code I used to hide the email address in the first place.

I'm not sure what code I can safely remove without causing major problems to the site.
anyone help ?

Why don't you use a form for people to contact you - try Matts Script Archive.

I need to fix the problem before I can install any spam traps.
tyler dissappeared before he could tell me what code to remove.

Wasn't it an email obfuscator? E.g. http://www.codehouse.com/webmaster_tools/email_obfuscator/

Thats the one I used :beer:
I remember it now....I can generate new code which will look almost identical to the old ...it will make the old code easy to spot.
I can use the search function to search the whole site for the old code and change everything/every page to the new code in one go.
Excellent !!
Thanks again chippy :beer:
