More help would be valued. Using the (preferred) method at
http://www.protectwebform.com/howprotect requires my altering my form
to replace
<form action="
http://www.yoursite.com/cgi-bin/add_entry.php"
method=POST> with
<form action="
http://10433.gate.protectwebform.com/" method=POST> and
uploading the original 'action=...' to their server. After the user
clicks the SUBMIT button on my form, they are then presented with a
new page containing a captcha, followed by my own confirmation page.
The method at
http://www.white-hat-web-design.co.uk/articles/php-captcha.php
works by providing PHP scripts for me to put on my server, then having
me edit my form to call those scripts so that a captcha appears at an
appropriate place on my form. Then a PHP script has to be placed on
the server to pre-process the submitted form.
The first method seems much simpler to implement, but requires control
to be passed to a third party. The second method would leave control
with me, but I am too stupid to understand how it works (I don't speak
PHP).
My problem is that as far as I can work out, FrontPage replaces the
'action=...' with a bit of JavaScript (which I don't speak either).
So if I were to replace that, then I would loose the remaining
(presumably desirable) functions of the JavaScript. Do I need to
embed a PHP call in the JavaScript ? If so, what should the code look
like ? Otherwise, how can the goal of having a captcha be achieved ?
Currently on my disk drive a line of the form looks like this:
<form method=POST enctype="application/x-www-form-urlencoded"
name="FrontPage_Form1" action="--WEBBOT-SELF--"
onSubmit="location.href='_derived/nortbots.htm';return false;"
language="JavaScript" webbot-onSubmit="
return FrontPage_Form1_Validator(this)">
<!--webbot bot="SaveResults" s-email-format="HTML/PRE" s-email-
address="Feedback@my_address.co.uk" b-email-label-fields="TRUE" s-date-
format="%d %b %Y" s-time-format="%H:%M" s-builtin-fields="REMOTE_NAME
REMOTE_USER HTTP_USER_AGENT Date Time" u-confirmation-url="thanks.htm"
startspan B-Email-Subject-From-Field="FALSE" S-Email-Subject="My
Feedback" --><input TYPE="hidden" NAME="VTI-GROUP" VALUE="0">
<!--webbot bot="SaveResults" endspan i-checksum="43374" -->
On the server,
action="--WEBBOT-SELF--" onSubmit="location.href='_derived/
nortbots.htm';return false;" language="JavaScript" webbot-
onSubmit="return FrontPage_Form1_Validator(this)">
gets automatically replaced by
action="--WEBBOT-SELF--" onSubmit="return
FrontPage_Form1_Validator(this)" language="JavaScript">
Your time in helping untangle this would be appreciated.
