Step-by-Step Guide
1. Open a Text Editor:
- Open Notepad or any text editor.
2. Copy the Script:
```javascript
// Basic email protection script
function blocker(name) {
var domain = "yourdomainname.com";
document.write('' + name + '@' + domain + '');
}
// Adding a subject field
function blockersubject(name, subject) {
var domain = "yourdomainname.com";
document.write('' + name + '@' + domain + '');
}
// Custom link text
function blocker2(name, text) {
var domain = "yourdomainname.com";
document.write('' + text + '');
}
// Subject and custom link text
function blockersubject2(name, subject, text) {
var domain = "yourdomainname.com";
document.write('' + text + '');
}
```
3. Save the File:
- Name the file `blocker.js` and store it where you keep your site's documents. You can reuse this script on different web pages by just modifying its variables.

```html
```
