Hi, Although I admire the simple code used to create your captcha
control, I must point out that because you are generating it using CSS
and html, instead of an image, it is incredibly simple to simply
select the text that you generate and paste it into the text box below
- effectively making it totally pointless.

A better solution in classic ASP is to generate a bitmap image on the
fly, using graphical commands to generate the text/image involved.

Just my two pence.

Hi Andy!

You are right about the copy and past - as long as you are a human,
but it's not that easy if you are a bot, which was my point in this
demonstation.
This code is getting a bit old and perhaps outdated anyway. I have
moved on to asp.net now, but will keep my old classic asp code posted
here. I still think classic asp is a more productive and simple to use
than the dot net monster ...

Take care old classic asp coders out there!
