Over the weekend, I cobbled together another handy javascript method for foiling evil spam bots, whilst making life easy for web developers. The script below enables you to change the subject of the email as you go as well - you could add other variables like a link title too if you wished. Functions are very useful devices!

Firstly, the content of email.js:

function sibaem(subject) {
var username = “emailprefixhere”;
var domain = “whatever.com”;
var atsign = “@”;
var address = username + atsign + domain;
document.write(’<’ + ‘a’ + ‘ ‘ + ‘href=’ + ‘”mailto:’ + address + ‘?Subject=’ + subject + ‘”>’);
}


Save the above as email.js in your scripts folder and link to it in the head of your document like this:

<script src="scripts/email.js" type="text/javascript"></script>

Then in the body of the document, call the function with the following code where you want an email to appear, for example:

<script type="text/javascript">
<!–
sibaem( “Website enquiry” );
document.write ( ‘email me</a>’ );
//–>
</script><noscript><a href=’contact_form.php’ title=’Complete my contact form’>contact me</a></noscript>

If you wish to make the user changeable and for the email address to be visible to the human eye on your site, here’s the content of email.js:

function sibaem(username, subject) {
var domain = “whatever.com”;
var atsign = “@”;
var address = username + atsign + domain;
document.write(’<’ + ‘a’ + ‘ ‘ + ‘href=’ + ‘”mailto:’ + address + ‘?Subject=’ + subject + ‘”>’ + address + ‘</a>’);
}


and here’s what goes in the body:

<script type="text/javascript">
<!–
sibaem( “youremailusername, Website enquiry” );
//–>
</script><noscript><a href=’contact_form.php’ title=’Complete my contact form’>contact me</a></noscript>

This year, we send our best wishes for prosperity and peace - it’s about time all of us had a bit of a rest from interminable bloodshed over resources, religion and global supremacy. Rather than using reason to develop a logical, secular code of ethical behaviour which considers the best interests of fellow human beings as well as their own, it seems too many humans depend upon crude instincts and irrational brutish faith to justify baseless feelings of cultural superiority and barbaric slaughter of and stealing from other humans.

To celebrate our alternative peaceful vision for enlightenment in 2007, we’ve made a desktop wallpaper featuring Ganesha, a Hindu deity symbolising intellect, wisdom and prosperity.

We’ve also taken the time to add some of our latest artwork and greeting cards to our online art gallery.

Enjoy!

Our friends Dom and Kev joined us for joint birthday celebrations at the lovely Sunshine Coast Bed and Breakfast, Ninderry Manor for another amazing Japanese feast. After feeding the crowd of kookaburras, butcher birds and magpies on the verandah their dinner, our banquet began with a zingy midori cocktail and dainty nibbles. Then seated at the elegant antique dining table, we sampled a delicious prawn mousse (called something like chow mushy) for entree, followed by Aki’s wonderful Sukiyaki, complete with my favourite yam noodles.

Dessert was a trio of homemade icecreams with fruit salad, including Aki’s specialty - sesame seed icecream - the unique taste of this visually exciting delicacy is unforgettable.

Ninderry Manor has to be experienced to be believed - we thoroughly recommend it as the premier Queensland destination for short, delicious, romantic holidays.
