Hide email, then pass to form

Copy linkTweet thisAlerts:
Mar 03.2008

I have users that are stored in our database, and I don’t want to expose their email address. I have a form that is used to email those users, but I still am not sure how to securely pass the email address from the database, and into a form field, without it being viewable in the code.

Would it be possible to load the page and have it put into a var, and then inserted into a field on submit?

I am new to this, so I am not sure what the best solution to this is.

@cgishackMar 03.2008 — if you are using a Server side program you could always store it in a session variable.

If you are using JavaScript, it will ALWAYS be in the pages source.
