Need Help with CAPTCHA

[Bryan]

I know there have been lots of posts on this issue, but I really need good
advice on this. We have a form that is spammed by robots like crazy. It is
at http://www.prioritymoving.com/get-estimate.htm . What I did that I
thought would work was put an image at the bottom and the make the entry of
what is in that image a required field before submitting the form. This
works for real people as they enter the field. You cannot submit without
getting the field correct.

However, the robots are submitting the form WITHOUT even putting anything
into this field. I have no idea how.

Does anyone have a solution within FP for this?

If not, what is the easiest way to include CAPTCHA with the website form,
and does anyone know how to do it? Thank you so much for your help.

You're using the FP validation for your home-made CAPTCHA, correct?
FP forms validation uses javascript, which the spam bots have turned off.
With scripting turned off, anyone can post anything without any validation
required.

I'm using Frontpage 2002 and wasn't sure if I could even include CAPTCHA.
I'm also having the same problem, nonstop assault by spambots.

No, it does not include captca, which is a whole separate program.

You will need server side scripting to replace the form processing
provided by the server extensions. The exact script depends on what
server you are hosted on (Windows or Unix) and what your host supports.

http://www.rxs-enterprises.org/tests/anti-spam/ shows some examples of
different ways to outwit the spambots, but ALL these examples require
server side scripting to be effective.
