Hi Al
I agree that many captchas are miserable unreadable and discouraging.
My web site and web skills are pretty low tech. I created the captcha on my
site
in a graphics program 8 or 9 years ago when I became inundated with spam
from my contact page. My captcha doesn't change, it is one simp

Here is a example:
function validateForm(b)
{
var NewInput = document.createElement("input" );
NewInput.setAttribute('name','validateForm');
NewInput.setAttribute('type','hidden');
b.form.appendChild(NewInput);
b.form.su
The onclick sounds pretty cool. I never thought to do it like that.

I didn't know about the IP addresses part. I'm going to be
implementing the feature with that. I don't see the IP
address relevance at this point. You've almost certainly have
read more about the approach than I have.
Can you describe using an onclick event a little more?

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

to the archived presentation, but the basic idea is this:
Add a hidden form field that a user can't see, and therefore,
won't fill in, and use it to trap a bot/spider.
The bot doesn't realize the field is hidden and puts something
in it

How about the "honeypot" method that was presented
on CFMeetup a few months ago? I was planning to implement
that method. Users don't even know it's working.
Any drawbacks?

You've got a point.
Never forget that a Web site is first intended to be comfortable for the

With a captcha, the programmer can sleep quietly, but the visitor

Hi Al
I replaced all email addresses with a coldfusion email form and then started
getting a bunch of automated spam. Putting in an image based challenge that
the sender must manually replicate stopped all the spam dead.

I had the same problem.. what I did is store the email addresses in
a database and then replace the email link with a link to a feedback
form on your website. When people want to email someone, they click
the link, fill out and submit the form. They never get to see the
actual email address.
What a strange assumption to make.

May be they do care, but they just don't know how to hide their address.

I think the best way is to likely replace them with an image of the email
address. cfimage could do it I'm sure.

I have a client using a CMS I've built and they are using a lot of email
addresses in the content.
As I can search/replace content, I am wondering what is the best way to
"hide" them from the spiders?
