Re: CAPTCHA

You know, I have a friend who was getting lots of spam on the
Ruby-on-Rails site he made for his wedding. He has a solution that I
thought was interesting.

He is registering javascript events on his inputs now. (Checking for
onblur I think) The scripts that were spamming him don't trigger them.
If no event is triggered, the submission is ignored.

What do you think of his solution?
