[wdvltalk] Is there a form out there that doesn't use refers for security?

Hi All, I'm just going crazy trying to find some solution to the situation with forms giving unauthorized domain errors to Norton Personal Firewall users. Any form I found uses refers as a means of security to keep out spammers. But Norton's PF hides the users so well, so they get lumped in with

[wdvltalk] RE: Is there a form out there that doesn't use refers for security?

Hi Ali, If the form needs to be secure why don't you hide it behind a login session? If you want you can set a cookie to keep users logged in, if there's not tooo sensitive information. Downside is that users might browse with cookies off. I don't know if Im misanderstanding. :) Sonja

[wdvltalk] RE: Is there a form out there that doesn't use refers for security?

Hi Sonja, thanks for replying. I'm really not sure what to do with this. Cookies are possible but it's, as you mentioned, still something the visitor controls... which is where the problems are coming from to begin with. I'd like to avoid logins, especially since I've never set one up before and

[wdvltalk] RE: Is there a form out there that doesn't use ref ers for security?

Hi Ali, Could you please post your code (the referer section), we don't do it and Im quite curious what it looks like. Im not sure how spammers can highjack a form. If they use automated processes you can ask a fields in a form to be validated before it gets submitted (ie, look that emails are

[wdvltalk] RE: VBScript error '80040e10'

replace the A4 with 'A4' That fixes it... Usually to output font color=red by using response.write you'd do response.write(font color=red) The sequence escapes the last and outputs to the screen. In SQL Code, there is no outputting to screen, the is being passed to the SQL engine

[wdvltalk] RE: Is there a form out there that doesn't use refers for security?

Hi Sonja, thanks for looking at this. Here (I think) is the referer section, from Jack's Formail. I've used another form in ASP on a windows server that has a similar system, which of course Norton's Firewall slams into. I could just chop it out, but I hesitate since it's supposed to be in there

[wdvltalk] RE: Is there a form out there that doesn't use refers for security?

Hi, Ali, I don't know what your form is for, so I don't know how much trouble you want to go to. However, I have seen a lot of sites these days (like GoDaddy) using an image containing numbers on their forms. The user then has to type in the numbers into a textbox. Since automated tools

Hi Amanda, This website's just using forms for fairly simple stuff like user comments, questions and the like. It's just been a major pain in the rear dealing with Norton Firewall situation on this, and I don't know enough programming to come up with my alternate. I think I may just work around

I've got news for you it isn't just Norton firewall users who get that message either. I'm on RoadRunner and use a router with nat translation as well as Zone Alarm and I've been seeing that message a fair bit lately. Find it annoying and patronize other sites instead of the ones that I get the

Actually, I need a website/website redirect, which is what I think you are trying to do also. Directory/directory redirect is easy if the directories are on the same site. Jan -- http://www.jdvisions.com Web Development and Design • The WDVL Discussion List from WDVL.COM • To Join
