Having read that article, wasn't the whole point centered around using
a textfield with css display none and not a hidden field since gthe
spam bots don't mess with the hidden fields, but will mess with text
fields? .... or did I read that wrong?

I didn't implement that, I implemented Hugi's. The component generates a hidden field, computes an expected value and sets the value of the hidden field with a javascript call (so it's not the value="..", it's assigned with javascript, which the bots won't eval most likely). When you submit the form, if the expected value doesn't match the submitted value, it will validationFailed. So if the bot skips the hidden field, WO will get a null value in takeValues and it won't match the expected and it will die. Clever and simple.
