texte = The bot, like any browser, will never see [email_address] because WebDNA will stick the value of that variable there before the page leaves your server. No browser, human or bot, will ever see your DNA code (unless you have some drastic configuration problem or intentionally wrap the code in [raw]). A bot sees exactly what you see if you load a page in your browser then view source.- brianOn Monday, January 27, 2003, at 10:36 PM, Tim Robinson wrote:> In terms of bots and the like, what would be the effect of simply > having the > email address as a hidden text variable. > ie.
