Help with Form Webbots

[Bryan Bloom]

We have a form that has now some webbot filling it in with spam about 20
times per day.

We have tried to use the validation to force the user to fill in fields with
certain lenghts, etc...

What ways can you keep spammer from filling in your forms? The validation
options are very limited.

One thing is we do have is a text box where you can free form write
information about your request for more information. This is were all the
spam is put in, it will include urls to sites, etc... but how do you tell
Frontpage not to allow urls in that field for example? Any help is
appreciated.

FP has no control over this, and the Form Field Validation is JavaScript which the spam bots ignore.
You need to process the form via a supported server-side scripting language, such as ASP, ASP.net,
PHP, etc. based on what is supported by your web host.
