So simple we laughed out loud! A very short article and answer to a big problem by Klaus Kjeldsen on using CSS to stop the spam.
The basic idea is to make an extra dummy input text field in your form, and using CSS to make it invisible to the real human users.
Thereby, if a post is sent to your php script handling the request and this extra text field contains information, you know that the submit must be spam, and the script can ignore the post.
Lee Pilmore is a web designer living and working from Leicester in the UK and is senior designer for Jadu. A smashing bunch of talented folk who create Content Management Systems. Among other things.
With a mixture of XHTML, CSS and CMS he is a web standards advocate and practitioner, helping make the path to shared and equal web enlightenment wider and smoother.
He studied fine art, then graphic design, animation and video production before moving into the web, where he’s now been for around eight years.
This hackneyed site is a place for him to post articles, tutorials and comments on stuff that he needs assistance remembering and that help, educate and inspire him.
Why not share the nourishment?
Anything published on this blog is in no way the views of my employer, Jadu.
