(The answer is: "white"): </td> <td> <input type="text" name="botcheck"> </td> </tr> then have the server side reject the request if the botcheck field isn't "white" it won't stop human spammers (but the only way to combat that would be to make account registration a manual thing), but it should cut off the bots. i implemented this in the old bug tracker on busybox.net/uclibc.org, and it completely shut down automated spammers (and i never saw a human spam). -mike
