Most spammers will look at a site and work out how comments are submitted - that being the case, they'd completely bypass the actual filling in of the form and simply post directly to the server.

i think you are not only blocking spambots, but also my grandpa and his arthritis in his fingers and my grand ma with her poor eyes forcing her to use screenreaders. a much more safe way is to use a very obvious "email" input field that you hide via CSS. Then you check on the serverside, if that field has received a value, then it's most probably a bot, because normal users won't see it, thus not fill it in. of course, not perfect not either since screenreaders will have it displayed. But i heard it's possible to control and hide stuff for screenreaders. -Original Message- From: jquery-en@googlegroups.com [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Codex Sent: mardi 23 octobre 2007 15:21 To: jQuery (English) Subject: [jQuery] Prevent comment SPAM with jQuery Hey people, I came up with an idea to help fight comment spam, the stuff most of us hate.
