Building the whole form in JS has it's drawbacks (e.g. maintenance), and advantages (e.g. the user must have JS to post). Another method, which I might post about later, could be to create a HTML form with a phoney action attribute, then use JS to switch the 'action' attribute onload.

I will try the script 'cause I'm sick of deleting it. Thanks

This is a great idea – I don't have any spam control at all at the moment (which, like Adrian, probably means my site isn't getting that many hits).

*sigh* My decommissioned http://VirtueDesktops.info/ site gets more hits than my blog.

I guess this is an indication of how little traffic my blog gets but my spam count rarely gets above 20 before it gets deleted.

Cool script though. I dare say this is gonna be popular.

Its probably worth trying out on my blog since my spam count is rapidly approaching 20,000 and averaging about 100 new spam every day.

…now I just need to write a spam bot that can read Javascript…
