<script language="JavaScript" type="text/JavaScript"> <!-- /* Written by: Mark Woodward (January, 2002) Woody's JavaScripts at: woody.cowpi.com/javascripts.html The function writeEmailLink uses JavaScript to write your hidden email link within your HTML document. Pass the following arguments to writeEmailLink: address = coded email address description = description of link as seen in browser (can be text or <img> tag) To hide your email address, replace the @ symbol with $ and reverse the position of the username and domain name.
