The onclick sounds pretty cool. I never thought to do it like that.

Check the field when the form is submitted for the presence of a value in the field. OK, I see. But there is no guaranty the bot will fill the field. I prefer the reverse : add a field in a onclick event and check for the presence of the field. This is 100% sure. I've also read about the Honey Pot project. IMO, its weakness is that it mostly rely on list of IP addresses. This is not sure enough, mainly because 1º IP addreses may be spoofed 2º many bots are actually ordinary user browsers hosting some worms therefore they can attack from any legitimate IP adresses. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Order the Adobe Coldfusion Anthology now! http://www.amazon.com/Adobe-Coldfusion-Anthology/dp/1430272155/?tag=houseoffusion Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/message.cfm/messageid:348107 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/unsubscribe.cfm
