A simple “is-valid” test: func valid(email string) bool { _, err := mail.ParseAddress(email) return err == nil } Testing it: for _, email := range []string{ “good@exmaple.com”, “bad-example”, } { fmt.Printf(“%18s valid: %t\n”, email, valid(email)) } Which outputs (try it on the … Read more
Working with content and attr in CSS: .cryptedmail:after { content: attr(data-name) “@” attr(data-domain) “.” attr(data-tld); } <a href=”#” class=”cryptedmail” data-name=”info” data-domain=”example” data-tld=”org” onclick=”window.location.href=”https://stackoverflow.com/questions/163628/mailto:” + this.dataset.name + ‘@’ + this.dataset.domain + ‘.’ + this.dataset.tld; return false;”></a> When javascript is disabled, just the click event will not work, email is still displayed.
