Mate has a very basic hosting package for a site he's got. He's trying to avoid giving out his email address but wants a 'contact us' type page.
He's got no php access on his hosting so it'll have to be a widget of some sort, presumably iFramed into the page with space to enter your message etc.
Anyone have experience/recommendations of doing this?

sounds like wufoo.com is what they need to use
If he does not have access to run code on the webserver then the only other place to run code is in the browser. The trouble with that is the user will be able to read it and, therefore, determine the email address.
I don't suppose he would be happy with creating a gmail account - putting that onto the website and then setting up a forwarding address??

Is he worried about spammers? Could he HTML encode the email address and put that up to make it harder for bots to read?
http://www.wbwip.com/wbw/emailencoder.html will do it for him.
var sb_domain = "domain.com"
var sb_user = "yourname"
var sb_recipient = sb_user + "@" + sb_domain
var sb_url = "mailto:" + sb_recipient
document.write(sb_recipient.link(sb_url));
Ideally I was thinking more of some widget you could iFrame into the page.
Probably obfuscating the mailto is all he needs in truth.
