Description

This is a snippet which allows email addresses to be cloaked or hidden from SPAM bots. Of course, this method is not foolproof, in fact: "You sit Joe Cracker down with the code for an hour or so and he'll correct his RegEx-capable parsing spider to decode even this."

I cannot see any other alternatives to this yet, and the code is very raw. If anyone can think of any improvements, I'm all open to suggestions. One feature I quite like is that you can set a page ID using $spage to make the link direct to a contact form in case Javascript is disabled.

Instructions

Install the snippet.

To use this snippet, type this in your document content:
EmailCloak? &saddress=`youremail@address.com` &scaption=`Email Me`

OPTIONAL:
&stitle=`text` - to include a title attribute in your <a> tag.
&spage=`12` - page id of your contact form in case Javascript is not enabled.

You MUST include both an &saddress and &scaption to include the link on your page.
