Hi Steve, Ok, I hadn't noticed the email address as a hidden field, this is a pretty bad idea as the bots will trawl if from the source and have a field day. How are you processing that form once its submitted? Using a <cfmail> tag? If so then I would take the hidden field out all together and just grab that email address in the server side code, so it never gets sent to the browser.
The JS I send you is for create a hyperlink that says 'mail me' or something like that, with a mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] as the link, when the user clicks it they get taken to their mail client such as outlook or something. You defiantly need to get rid of that form field though, it's bad news. Let me know if you need any more help.

Rob, With the JS you sent, can I create a name for that whole thing and then make reference to the name in the form? I ask because my mailto: tag is currently just a hidden input type in the form with a value of the email address it's supposed to go to. How do I reference the new JS? >Hi Steve, > >Firstly, here is a great tutorial on lyla from Ray >http://ray.camdenfamily.com/index.cfm/2006/11/14/Quick-and-dirty-CAPTCHA-Gu i >de I found it a great help when I started out with it. > >Next thing I notice about that contact form, is that you're only using JS >client side stuff to validate its contents, so I just disabled JS in my >browser and fired off about 10 blank emails though the form, imagine what a >mailing bot could do with it in just a few seconds. > >Get some server side validation on the form for starters, and get a captcha >or something on it, build your mail to links using the JS solution I >provided, that should start to stem the flow a little I think. > >Rob > >-----Original Message----- >From: Steven Sprouse [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] >Sent: 16 April 2007 14:16 >To: CF-Talk >Subject: Re: CF CAPTCHA - need help! > >The feedback form can be found here: >http://www2.ccboe.com/feedback/feedbackform.cfm > >I think I've tried the lyla capcha in the past and couldn't figure it out. >Maybe I'll give it another go. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Deploy Web Applications Quickly across the enterprise with ColdFusion MX7 & Flex 2 Free Trial http://www.adobe.com/products/coldfusion/flex2/?sdid=RVJU Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/message.cfm/messageid:275354 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.4
