Keep your email address safe from spambots by copying it to the clipboard
I was thinking about some way's to show your email address on your site- without the possibility that spambots would be able to harvest them- or at least, make it very hard for them to do so.
One idea that stuck was placing the email address on the clipboard, and making it available to paste into the recipient field of an email client. So I cobbled together a proof of concept between 2 cappuccino's- that does just that, place an email address onto the clipboard after clicking a link.
It's not pretty- but it was not meant to be. I used ZeroClipboard cause I found out that doing this [copy something] is really hard to do cross browser.
Anyhoo...Here is an example page, it is ready to run-however one caveat. If you run this locally-you need to give Flash explicit access (yes it uses a small Flash script) to some secure part. It's not hard, just enter the page as an exception when it shows the warning dialog to you.
