Howto Validate form

[norm]

Help!

I've used jscript to attempt to prevent spammers from putting hyperlinks
and bad words on a "discussion" page, created with the "Discussion"
WeBBot. When I test it, it works perfectly - BUT....

Here is the page

http://www.forsalebyyou.com/discussions_renew/

I put my code on the post page...

http://www.forsalebyyou.com/discussions_renew/disc1_post.htm



Apparently they are creating their own page to input directly to the
Discussion WEbBot Handler.

How can I prevent this?

Thanks!

There is no way they are "creating their own page to input directly to the Discussion Webbot Handler."

It just means they are masking the words in some way your array is not recognizing

PS
or they simply turn off client side scripting in their browser and it bypasses your script validation

I created a noscript redirect, but somehow they still are able to spam.
The suggestion from someone else was this...

a) By turning off javascript in their browser
b) by creating their own page that submits to the destination specified in
your form's action attribute."


If that is the case then I have to figure out how to run the validation
and webbot on the server side.

Can you run the webbot on the server side?

thanks
