    Hi All,

    I have a basic html site and would like to add on the submission form because I am getting a lot of SPAM. I want to add a validation code on the form but dont know how.

    The site is basic html not php and using a cgi formmail.
    Here is the site CLICK HERE

    Any ideas on how to make this easy add-on. Thanks!

    You are going to be hard pressed to do any real validation using just html. You could use some javascript, but I don't recommend that. All someone has to do then is turn off javascript in their browser to bypass your validation.

    You should look into setting up a CAPTCHA

    Try this service. Its very good and effective in stopping spam. Just intregate this in your html page. Your service needs to support php.
