Question

I found the following code to decode a ROT13 string and put it into a webpage with JavaScript:

<script type="text/javascript">
 document.write("string".replace(/[a-zA-Z]/g, 
 function(c){return String.fromCharCode((c<="Z"?90:122)>=(c=c.charCodeAt(0)+13)?c:c-26);}));
</script>

I need a similar JavaScript code to decode ROT47.

I found a few functions, but I have no idea how to get it into the same script, so it will put the decoded string into a webpage.

One of them is here – http://www.visualco.de/ROTn.js.html

Can someone please help?

Thanks a lot!

Answer 1

Simply copy the needed functions into your JavaScript. At the appropriate place, do

<script type="text/javascript">
 document.write(ROT47("string"));
</script>

necessary functions:

//
// ROTn.js -- ROT13 and ROT14
//
// JavaScript-code   implementing   ROT13  and   ROT47.    Useful  to   obscure
// email-adresses and telephone numbers from inquisitorial site crawlers.
//
// Usage:
//   <script type="text/javascript">
//     ROT13('<n uers="znvygb:[e-mail]">[e-mail]</n>');
//   </script>

function ROTn(text, map) {
  // Generic ROT-n algorithm for keycodes in MAP.
  var R = new String()
  var i, j, c, len = map.length
  for(i = 0; i < text.length; i++) {

function ROT47(text) {

  // to obfuscate virtually any text, including URLs and emails.
  var R = new String()
  R = ROTn(text,

  return R;
