HI,
I like the way EE automagically encodes email links. However, I am having problems. I want an email address, which has been applied to an image, to be encoded. I can’t get this to work. The images are in a weblog:

<a href="mailto:[email protected]">myimage.jpg</a>

The mailto: links isn’t seen, and the email address is left naked and bare to the universe.

I did try using HTML entities (&#xxx;) to encode certain characters, but sadly the & symbols are output as & so that kills that idea.

The {encode} tag works for links applied to runs of text, but not to images. How do I get email addresses used this way encoded?

Thanks.

BUMP. Any takes for this one, or is this something which can not be done?

HI,
I have posted this here as it’s on my gripe list of things which need fixing before the site goes live. No luck posting it on the main board, so I am hoping that someone in support can help.

I am assuming that what I want is possible, unless I get a definite statement that it can’t.

Thanks.

hairydalek, this functionality is not supported. Which is why I’m going to merge your thread from the Support forum back here again.
