http://www.rudolph-valentino.com/ - a truly bizarre use of Javascript.

<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="Javascript"><!--

//0019910288283-004994838-00292992-
function process(pe)
{
document.write(unescape(pe))
return ""

}

function start()
{
var pe=new Array()
pe[0]=new Array("%3C%53%43%52%49%50%54%20%4C%41%4E%47%55%41%47%45%3D%22%4A%61%76
etc....

It's not even just the front page;  so far as I can see, every single
page on the site consists of a single encoded Javascript array!

Array("%3C%53%43%52%49%50%54%20%4C%41%4E%47%55%41%47%45%3D%22%4A%61%76

Is it bizarre?  It presumably means that anything, eg wget, cURL, that
fetches a page can't use literal string matching/searching to isolate bits
the html that should be examined in more detail, eg for extracting email
addresses.  Obviously a JS-enabled browser would see the literal text but
more efficient fetch mechanisms presumably don't.

Wouldn't that have exactly the same effect on search engines?

For the same reason as they've `disabled' right clicking -- to stop
(reasonably unskilled) people from stealing bits of it.

Yes, it wouldn't deter people like you or me, but it would deter people
of, for example, the same degree of competence as the site's author.
