i dont think he so much wants to hide it as he wants to ensure a web bot couldnt pick up a mailto link from the source code. that can be fixed by and only using javascript (or a server side portal, but javascript is easier and less bandwidth intensive).
i]"I know what you're thinking. Did he fire six shots or only five? Well, to tell you the truth, in all this excitement, I've kinda lost track myself. But being as this is a .44 Magnum ... you've got to ask yourself one question: 'Do I feel lucky?' Well, do ya punk?"[/i] - Dirty Harry

While we're on the topic of site stuff ...
Do you know a way to prevent search engines like google from picking up every page on a site? I may put up some stuff on my site that I'd rather not have the fingertips of the entire world. (family photos, etc..)
Is google's cache of web pages illegal? I sure didn't give them permission to copy my entire site and keep it on thier servers forever to help them make money. Pages I deleted long ago are still on google.
I like google though - it's my fav. It's one of the best search engines out there. (I sound like a hypocrite, don't I? :-? )

AFAIK, your pages only will be spidered and included in google if they have metatags. If a page doesn't have them, it won't be listed.
About the cache stuff, I dunno. It has been useful for me many times, but I am only approaching the issue at the side of the plain user.

Not really. The only meta tags my pages at Geocities have are those generated automatically by Netscape : "Made With Netscape v X.X". If you search Google by my family name or by "qbasic jpeg" you will find my pages among the then first references. So meta tags are not so relevant...

Hmmmmm, the cache thing does raise a legal issue, doesn't it. But think about this: when you send an email, it is copied by every server that passes it on, until it gets to the destination. All such copies of your email are illegal, but it would be absurd to think about suing etc, cos that's just how it's done.
Anyways, to stop them indexing your page, add the following meta text:
Code:
<meta name="robots" content="noindex,nofollow">
However I think that only works if the page already has not been cached. See

Google!
