Re: Anyone know how to keep spammers out of a guestbook!



Ah, an elegant solution to a vexing problem. Don't think
Larry will buy this, though.

I don't know the first thing about doing this in modern coding
languages but surely there's a way to analyze the text field for
HTML code such as "http" and "www." If you detected these,
clear the text field, close the guestbook page, and forget
about the spammers. I used to do these kinds of things
in an ancient language known COBOL. Wish I could help
but I'm just starting with all this new-fangled stuff..
