Stomping Spiders – Email Obfuscation Part 1,256

by Tom

Add another technique to the never ending list of ways to make email addresses unharvestable to spam spiders. I’m going to publish every single method I can find because they are so useful; spam is one of the largest wastes of time ever devised by man. Spider stomping 2k6 uses the CSS  :before and :after pseudo-elements to generate your email addresses using CSS!  Of course this doesn’t work in IE yet, but nonetheless, its a creative and interesting solution! Actually this is one of the most interesting uses of CSS that I have yet seen, and one wonders what the next innovative creation we will see done with it.

If you found this helpful or interesting, please share it!
