Jacob, Very true. What I could do though, is once the browser loads, I could use Javascript to set a hidden value... This value might override the test. This would work on the basis that spam bots never run Javascript, only users. And then, if a user doesn't have Javascript, they just have to click the button (as they did anyway).
We shall see... I am gonna go the week just to see the strength of the solution before I do anything else. ......................

A lot of people just hit enter. You could simulate a button click using JS in the onsubmit, but this gets back to the non-JS browser problem. This anti-spam stuff is HARD! :) Always a cat and mouse game... Also, like you alluded, I'd guess that blind people's screen readers will see all of the buttons including the hidden ones and confuse the hell out of them. But I could be wrong... > -----Original Message----- > From: Ben Nadel [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Monday, November 13, 2006 3:21 PM > To: CF-Talk > Subject: RE: Capture Alternatives > > Jacob, > > I am pretty sure that this has accessibility issues as it relies on > CSS and the "visibility" of a button.
