@John There is no method that is 100%, even captcha's can be bypassed by some bots. My experience with this technique has been very positive. The solution has been working effectively for me since Janurary this year, and only requires visitors to use a modern web browser to prove that they are human.

However, in the future spambots may become more intelligent and start processing JS. So when the spammers start building better bots, of course developers everywhere will need to improve their detection methods.

If you are concerned with bots bypassing this now, you can use this technique along with others (e.g. Akismet) to improve security.

How long before bots/robots start executing JS code and this technique is extinct?

good post, I have seen this technique elsewhere, the idea of having a valid page for the fake submission url is a good one so users without java script will know their form submission didn't go through.
