Hiveware Enkoder + external .js = ARRRGGGHHHHH

[Stroszek]

I use Hiveware's Email Address Enkoder to protect the email addresses on my webpages. Now, on some of the pages, I have the same address more than once. Since the Enkoder spits out a pretty lengthy chunk of code, I thought it would make more sense to put all of the code in an external .js file and then link the page to it. That way, it only has to be downloaded once. So now I have this file called hiveware.js: //<![CDATA[

So place this in the head of the XHTML Strict page :<script src="../javascript/hiveware.js"></script>

Then I call up the JavaScript in the place I want it:<script type="text/javascript">
<!--
hiveware_enkoder();
// -->
</script>

And it renders perfectly in the paragraph. The only problem is that there is this mysteriousl "email me" link up at the top of the page. My best guess is that it is getting rendered when the .js file is linked in the head of the page.

I'm no JavaScript expert, so I'm hoping that someone out there will see somthing silly that I am missing and clue me in. Please?

Thanks!

For some reason, when I preview or edit this post, vB deletes the last half. grrrr!
