If you don't have a high traffic in your site (so people won't create specialized bots for your site) you can create your form with plus X random fields (all these with random names, in blank, and hidden via CSS/JavaScript). In form validation if some 'user' fill these hidden fields you will know that this 'user' is really a bot, so you can ignore this comment (and even block IP address etc.). -- Álvaro Justen Peta5 - Telecomunicações e Software Livre 21 3021-6001 / 9898-0141 http://www.peta5.com.br/ --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "web2py-users" group.
