Using Javascript to shroud email address

[Feznizzle]

Hi!

I'd like to add a clickable email address to the Contact Us page, but I don't want the address to get sniffed out by spambots.

I found this and I'm considering using it:

More advanced users may choose to shroud the email address with JavaScript and then insert the code into an HTML Snippet on the page. This approach is quite user-friendly as the email address still appears as a clickable link on the page and at the same time is safe-guarded from spam bots.
To shroud your email, use the code below - replace [your_username] with the part of your e-mail address before "@" and [your_mail_account_domain] with the part after "@".

<script language="JavaScript">
var username = "[your_username]";
var hostname = "[your_mail_account_domain]";
var linktext = username + "@" + hostname ;
document.write("<a href='" + "mail" + "to:" + username + "@" + hostname + "'>" + linktext + "</a>");
</script>

Looks pretty easy and straightforward... perhaps too easy?

Before I commit, thought I'd find out what strategy you guys use. Do you risk putting your email address out there in a clickable fashion, what strategy to you use to avoid bots?

Thanks!

Also, if I post that into the define_contact page, will interfere with anything?
