Need Help with purchase order form

Expand Post »
I hope I am in the right place. My Purchase Order Form has worked well for me until recently a spammer has started sending me stuff. I would like to make some changes to make it harder for them to use.

I created the form with form maker pro. Part of a service from web host. The form can be found at
http://billygorilly.com/forms/purchase-order.html

here are my questions

1. How can I add a capcha to my form in form maker pro? or by changing the code in dreamweaver.

2. How do I make it so email and confirm email have to be the same to submit form.

3. What setting or code should a phone number be on to keep spammers from inputing 1234

4. We only accept PO's from the United States, is there a way to have the State field only accept US entries?

5. Is there a way to stop spammers from adding links into the comment section?

I know this is a lot of questions but any help would be appreciated

Thanks

Re: Need Help with purchase order form

Hi,

the best solution to provide spamers is including a tricky game, like a mathematical opeartion on two numbers.

provide them two random numbers and a mathematical operation and let them provide you solution.

then on next page you can first check if you have got the correct answer, then submit the information else its a spammer.

Hope this information will help you.

  1. if (d.email.value!=dc.value)  {  alert("Your email and Confirm emaildoesn't match..");  d.cemail.value="";  d.cemail.focus();  return false;  }

Re: Need Help with purchase order form

Thanks Vicki,
I will research and figure out how to add a mathematical operation as you suggested. At this point I have no idea how to do it but it will ba a good challenge. I am not sure what you mean by checking it on the next page.

Re: Need Help with purchase order form

Hi,

Like you gave a question
2+2 = ?

user gave answer as 4 then
in the page where you are posting the information, you can check if the answer user gave is correct or not.

If correct then put the information in batabase, else leave it as it is a spammer.

Re: Need Help with purchase order form

Hi vicky,
Thanks for the clarification on the math problems. I have been researching some code possibilities and it seems like more than I can handle at this time. I need to get much better at this coding thing first. I won't give up it just may take me some time.

Shanti,
I tried the code you shared with me for email and I could not get it to work. Not sure why. I am going to try some other formulation of the code and see what happens. I will not be deterred. I shall find the answers.
