Testing that out. I've got a rather persistent set of losers trying to post crap in my niece's guestbook. I've got it set up now to where they haven't been able to spam it for at least a year but I track 'close calls' (where they passed all tests but one) and there at least a dozen per week. When it gets to a dozen per day I add a new security feature. To give you an idea how .. annoying these spammers are being.. her guestbook script gets roughly 200 times more hits than her other pages, and twice the hits of the main site.

But anyway I am thinking I should be able to tell whether they're filling out the hidden field, and what they're putting in it, and make further plans to foil the spammers that way.

If I could get the field to hide.

For some reason I can't get the stylesheet to cover the input style :-( At least not in FF. Not without using inline style (which I think could be a bit of a dead giveaway) If you've got ideas you can have a look here: http://lilyharper.org/lily/guestbook/

(Macey's gave me a whole stack of paper bags this morning, so I am prepared!)

You can absolute position it, with a lower z-index than another element placed over it.
