A Simple Way to detect spambots
Tuesday, March 18th, 2008A Simple Way to detect spambots
This is an old trick but worth being mentioned again:
<textarea id=”spammed” name=”spammed” rows=”3″ cols=”4″></textarea>
now hide this textarea using javascript / css, by setting the display to none. Now when the form is submitted if you find any text here you can safely assume its a spambot.
