Hey just wondering how I hyperlink my email so when clicked it opens apple mail, Microsoft entourage or any other email software for people to mail me. I've tried by using the hyperlink button in the text box and filling out the email section but it doesn't seem to work and just opens my domain providers website.

Any help would be great i'm very much a novice!

try to make it safe against email harvester..
one nice try is to write it backwards:)

  1. html: <span class="reverse">moc.revetahw@olleh</span> 
  2. css: .reverse { unicode-bidi: bidi-override; direction: rtl; }
  3. output: hello@whatever.com

Whoa...I never realized you do do that with CSS. Is this part of CSS3? Don't you think an email bot can chomp right through that (especially since this isn't a javascript solution)?

Interesting...

it's css2. some time ago i read this article where the author tested 15+ of the most common harvester-tools localy and none of them could flip the text. so it is kinda bulletproof. but (!) it has also bad sides - when you try to copy/paste it for example, it will be reverse as well because only the browser can interpret and rewrite the css (visually). therefore, when you really want it the safe way it is maybe better to encrypt it with a small js function.
cheers
