  19. i use this javascript encryptor of email address on Canadian Privacy Law v. E-Mail Harvesting · · Score: 2, Informative

    this is taken from smarty.php.net javascript encrypting function

    basically it means that a client whose not running js on every script on the page will not even know that he's missing content.
    but thos who do, don't don't feel any adverse effects (like having to remove the EEEWE from the middle of the domain or something) !!

  20. aye there's the rub, CSS div pop-ins on The Return Of The Pop-Up Ad · · Score: 1

    there is another way, which as of today most webmasters still avoid (but may start using soon) and thath is to have a div that is hidden/displayed by javascript as PART of the page.
    you could never turn these off categorically.
    As a user, there is no difference to me, but i guess that webmasters aree either feeling that
    1- everyone is blocking popus so it's ok
    2- whe a popup hides part of your screen its not the same as when you do it inside your own html.

    well it is the same thing.
