But people have posted code bits for various programs and languages, so see what you can find over there... Hi David… To be honest, I have no idea.

I just moved to a new hosting company today where I could afford CF. ;) So I changed things to CF and now, I have to figure out how to make reCAPTCHA work for CF... when I get a spare minute. ;) Thanks Ron… I just moved to a new hosting company today where I could afford CF.

I'll take a look at reCAPTCHA as it seems to solve the vision impairment issue nicely. <br /> <br />Your new site looks great! Being in the public sector, accessibility is high on my list here.

Your new site looks great!

It does work, but it is difficult to read at times. The site I wanted it for is frequented by senior citizens and I felt it was too difficult for those with poor eyesight (an issue with all CAPTCHAs but more pronounced in reCAPTCHA). With reCAPTCHA you can regenerate the CAPTCHA or listen to it, but again, this was too much for my average user due to the controls being small icons and the fact that it takes a bit of tech savvy to realize what to do with the controls. Also, reCAPTCHA will add punctuation at times which is difficult to distinguish yet needs to be typed in. <br /> <br />Yes, it's free and for many folks it may be what they need. I ended up adding code to my contact form that disallows certain input that seemed to be prevalent in the spam we were receiving. And, for the last month or so, it has done the trick. <br /> <br />I also use a mail hide program, and that has helped a great deal. Hi,
