Hide mailto from Google with Ajax

in Using jQuery • 10 years ago

Hi there,

I used to 'protect' my email addresses from being indexed by Google in the following manner:

$.post( '/mailto.php', { password: 'mypass' }, function(data) {
 $( 'span.email' ).html(data);
})
mailto.php would return 
<a href="mailto:me@example.com">me@example.com</a>
 This used to work fine until a while ago: Google is now able to (partially) read Ajax loaded content. Could anyone advice me on what new method i should use for protecting my e-mail links? Thanks in advance! Regards, Knal

Check out this method:
http://www.sunstarmedia.com/javascript-email-address-protection.htm

Does it do what you need?

<script type="text/javascript">
function createMailtoLinks(){
    $('A[data-u][href=""]').each(function(){
        var i = $(this);
        i.attr('href', 'mai'+'lto:'+i.data('u')+'@'+i.data('d'));
        if (i.html()==''){ i.html(i.data('u')+'@'+i.data('d')); }
    }); 
}
$(function(){
    createMailtoLinks();
});
</script>

<-- use your own anchor text -->
<a href="" data-u="username" data-d="domain.com">anchor text</a>
 
<-- leave anchor text blank to auto-generate -->
<a href="" data-u="username" data-d="domain.com"></a>
