I do that based on a php function so that clients don't need to have javascript going.

Also it is a good idea to check input because the javascript stuff can be changed.

Also you have "" at the very top left hand side of your website, I've had that issue before, something to do with Dreamweaver I think.

Ever since I added the security check, spam has dwindled considerably. However, I still think it's capable of getting through.

Well... I don't use Dreamweaver - so it can't be that... I don't like it, though. I wish I knew how to get rid of it.

Thanks for this, I updated it to replace spaces with dashes and remove anything but alpha-numeric characters and dashes. Here's what it looks like...

function sectionWebSafe(original) { // replace spaces with dashes var originalarray = original.split(" ") var webSafe = originalarray.join("-") // remove special characters var originalarray = webSafe.split(RegExp("[^abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ0123456789-]")) var webSafe = originalarray.join("") return webSafe.toLowerCase(); }
