jQuery.MailTo

Simple jQuery plugin to hide email addresses from spambots. If the element is <a>, it will add the attribute href with respective mailto.

Demo

Check out the demo page.

Javascript

$('.email').mailto(); 

The plugin to avoid having to set data-host in multiple email addresses, you can set the default host in the plugin:

$('.email').mailto({ 	host:'domain.com' }); 

HTML

Basic example

<a class="email" data-account="my.name"></a> 

... will result in...

<a class="email" href="mailto:[email protected]">[email protected]</a> 

If you prefer literal email addresses...

<a class="email">my dot name at domain dot com</a> 

... will result in...

<a class="email" href="mailto:[email protected]">[email protected]</a> 

With link text set

<a class="email" data-account="my.name" data-host="domain.com" data-text="My Email"></a> 

... will result in...

<a class="email" href="mailto:[email protected]">My Email</a> 

With hostname set

<a class="email" data-account="my.name" data-host="domain.com"></a> 

... will result in...

<a class="email" href="mailto:[email protected]">[email protected]</a> 

With subject set:

<a class="email" data-account="my.name" data-host="domain.com" data-subject="Information Request"></a> 

... will result in...

<a class="email" href="mailto:[email protected]?subject=Information%20Request">[email protected]</a> 

Example with <span>

If the element is not a <a>, it will not set the href attribute:

<span class="email" data-account="my.name" data-host="domain.com"></span> 

... will result in...

<span class="email">[email protected]</a>
