I want to use JavaScript to generate e-mail addresses dynamically so that they are not in plain text in the HTML code and use the button from elements, is there a way to do this?

There are a bunch of techniques to make it harder for bots to harvest the email addresses. But no client side technique is fail safe. Advanced bots can get the addresses if they are client side, no matter what you do. Basically if you’re thinking of displaying human readable email address, or mailto from a button, it will be harvested no matter what. Server side sending is the only safe way.

It’s relative I guess. Easy, when you know how. You need to start here :

> **[Introduction | RapidWeaver Elements Docs](https://docs.realmacsoftware.com/elements-docs/elements-language/api-introduction)**
>
> A brief introduction to the Elements templating language

If you have any specific questions, more than happy to help.
