Perhaps it's a way of phishing for yet another email address to spam if the order form goes through and they get an emailed response? $10 says it's a bot doing this! Another $10 says it's got a list of possible form field names and what to put into specific fields. How many of us actually name our "comments" field "comments"? Most of us I bet! It would actually be an interesting test to purposely name all your form fields stuff like "<input type="text" name="sEjRmWlTsQsPvNwY"> and then see if the bot would still bother with it. Of course, you'd have to find a way to *invite* the bot to show up and keep a close look on your server logs to see if it did. I've got some "bot traps" on a couple of sites - mostly for fun - but it's amazing the harvester bots that will show up sometimes and just sit there and absorb thousands of fake generated email addresses at a time! -- Les Mizzell ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Special thanks to the CF Community Suite Gold Sponsor - CFHosting.net http://www.cfhosting.net Message: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=i:4:187196 Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/threads.cfm/4 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=s:4 Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.4 Donations & Support: http://www.houseoffusion.com/tiny.cfm/54
