How to validate BC forms to stop spam

I'm having a problem on a couple of my sites - even though we have standard BC validation and captcha's in place my forms are being propogated by spammers.
http://tasbus.com.au/member-application.htm - on this site the spammers are completing the company name with 'google'. Is there a way I can check the value of the field and if it is 'google' then send them an error message?
if (theForm.Company) why += checkEmail(theForm.Company.value); if(why != "google"){alert(why);return false;}
I tried this, which gave the error message, but gives the error for every entry.
thanks

Server side is the only way to prevent spam Deb.
Script stuff does not really work or have any effect because bots are not humans. They read and render and view forms, sites etc in a very different way.
IF you search the forums you will see that BC are very well aware of the current issues and working on sollutions.

How to validate htmldb_item form item

I have a multiple row form item using htmldb_item.text ( so that a user can enter a quantity for that row item ).
How is validation best handled to ensure that a value is entered for that row?
note: there is also a htmldb_item.checkbox on the row that the user checks to flag that an operation should be done.
Thanks as usual
Bill

for what this is worth:
as scott said, only checked values are passed through from htmldb_item.checkbox'es over to the htmldb_application.g_fNN arrays. that's just how conventional web checkboxes work. if you want to keep your checkboxes in your form, just do their processing in a separate loop. if you're having a hard time keeping the values of your checkbox array matched up with the other htmldb_item values from their corresponding rows, just make sure your checkboxes return values you can use to identify your checked rows. so if you were going against the emp table, i'd suggest having your checked values return EMPNO's...
select htmldb_item.checkbox(1,empno) c from emp
...that way you could more easily match those empno's up with your other htmldb_application.g_fNN values during your page processing.
hope this helps,
raj

How can I stop Spam reaching my iPad?

Could anybody help me stop spam reaching my iPad? We can filter and "junk" mail on the mac but how can you do this on the iPad? ( and iPhone for that matter). Would be grateful for advice. I have found an app called iSpamDrain that may help but am not entirely comfortable with the fact it seems to be cloud based and you have to give them your email password.

I have found what looks like a promising service to try and stop spam, it is http://www.spamcop.net/ces/pricing.shtml
I wonder if anybody else has any experience of it?

How to validate multiple lines which is exist in the form builder at the same session

Hi All,
we are working on oracle Forms personalization to trigger the message at the point of saving multiple lines rather than requiring each line to be save individually. Currently the oracle form is allowing to user to enter two distinct lines that have same resource and basis type in BOM.
Currently the Oracle form is allowing to enter the duplicate combination and not giving any error message even we enter the same combination of data.
As per the customer requirement, they don’t want to validate the data while creating the records but when they try to save the form, in that case it should validate all the records at a time then need to display the appropriate message.
Customer don’t want to customize the Oracle standard form. Here we have only option to use form personalization or through custom.pll.
Any idea on how to validate multiple lines which is exist in the form builder at the same session as before inserting the record itself need to perform the validations for all the records.
Thanks for your help in this regard.
Regards,
Thirupathi

you can write a post script which will do the necessary tasks.
I mean, once you are done with inserting records into these tables, exeute another procedure which will insert these "extra" records, based on some logic.
you may not be able use DB trigger as it may generate mutating error or if you don't write it carefully, it will go into recursive loops as you are refering to same tables.

This mail has originated outside your organization, either from an external partner or the Global Internet.
Keep this in mind if you answer this message.
it is not going to my address book because a lot of these people are not in there. it is going to people that i emailed from years ago....and it IS connected to either my me.com email or a cox.net email - these are both connected. i'll try the password change on both of these mail accounts and see if that works. a lot of these people are getting three and four emails every day....

How to validate input fields as the user is filling up a form with jQuery?

Hello EA friends.
Someone has experimented on how to validate input fields as the user is filling up a form with jQuery?, if the field is numeric and insert an A for example, an alert appears showing "insert a number" or not allowed to enter anything until a number is entered.
Thanks and regards.

Stopping spam via forms

Does anyone know what the technique is to stopping spam when
producing:
1/ form to mail contact pages
2/ mailto links?
is there a technique? other than that of using image random
character way - ie : https://www.fasthosts.co.uk/login/
thanks

I take this one step further. I use TWO fields hidden by CSS:
1. one field is called 'address3' and is empty. I check to
see if it's
been filled in and if it has, the form goes into the bit
bucket.
2. another field is called 'moreinfo' and contains "More Info
Here" as a
value. If that field does NOT contain "More Info Here" on
submit, the form
goes into the bit bucket.
It hasn't failed me yet....

Struts how can validate form without using validate method.

Hi
Is this possible validate a form without using validate form
if it is possible then
please tell me how can we validate it
Thanks
Surendra

Make use of validator framework.. this would enable you to do validation both @ client side by javascript under defined validation rules and also enables you to do it @ serverside....
And if want to create a Dyanamic Form beans which takes care of validations to make use ValidatorForm or DynaValidatorForm class under the pacakage org.apache.struts.validator and create an instance of it with preconfigured validations under structs...
Make use of the links below which i think are the best tutors for newbies....

How can I stop spam from someone called AT&T High Speed Internet? I do not know what the email address is.

I am receiving 100's of spam emails. They are all advertising different types of products but they all say they are from AT&T High Speed Internet. I have used the junk filter on them but it does not pick them up as junk. I have to do it manually each time. I have contacted my UVerse provider and they cannot assist because it is getting through Yahoo to Thunderbird. They say that it is a problem that I will have to have assistance from Thunderbird to resolve so that I can have this listed as junk and will not have to do this manually. I am at my wit's end. Please, please help me!

Yahoo has its own junk mail filter (Spamguard), which you should confirm is enabled:
* [https://help.yahoo.com/kb/mail/stop-spam-yahoo-mail-sln3227.html Mail Help | - SLN3227 - Stop spam in Yahoo Mail]
The significance of this is that marking messages as junk in Thunderbird probably isn't integrated with Yahoo's system, so Yahoo may not be getting trained to block them. You might need to go into Yahoo from time to time and mark accumulated junk as spam.
Separately, there are solutions for filtering spam on your computer as the mail is downloaded from Yahoo. Thunderbird has a built-in filter, as described here: [[Thunderbird and Junk / Spam Messages]]. However, if that isn't as effective you would like, there are third party products as well.

How to Validate a Portal Form field from the database

I created a Portal Form based on a procedure, which requires three parameters. One of the parameters is Item Number. I need to check if the Item Number exists in database. I am trying to use pl/sql button event handler, where I try to use the select count(*) statement to verify. However, I don't know how to reference the form field in the where clause. Please advise. Or is it possible to achieve this by creating a javascript? If you go to 'Shared Component' provider and click on javascript, you will see some system validation scripts, which you can call in the form level validation. My doubts with javascipt is how I can talk to database in the script? Any input is appreciated.

Hi,
You cannot access the DB from the script. If you want to access the values of a field you should use session variables. Here is a sample to access the values of a form field.
declare
ticket_no varchar2(20);
flight_no varchar2(20);
blk varchar2(30) := 'DEFAULT';
begin
ticket_no := p_session.get_value_as_varchar2(
p_block_name => blk,
p_attribute_name => 'A_TICKET_NO');
flight_no := p_session.get_value_as_varchar2(
p_block_name => blk,
p_attribute_name => 'A_FLIGHT_NO');
end;
Thanks,
Sharmila

How to Validate Multiple email address in spry?

How to validate multiple email address in spry framework?
Spry validate text field can validate one email address only,
if I the text field is for multiple emails, how can I validate
it?

Hello Jackson,
The Spry Textfield was designed to work with the normal work
flows that people currently use in most of the forms on the web. We
tried to prevent any email injection method in the forms therefore
the validation was designed to stop any multiple email insertion.
In case you want to insert multiple emails you'll have to
disable the default email validation and create your own validation
function, more flexible. You can see a
sample
we did for the custom validation trying to validate a password
strength and confirm the password.

How do I get iTunes to stop asking me to sign in?

How do I get iTunes to stop asking me to sign in? I will never buy from iTunes so there is no point in me signing in. A year ago I bought a couple of albums off iTunes but I was sorely disappointed that I did not have the hard copy and album art in a physical form. That made me resolve to only buy music (or any content) in solid form and from the artist themselves if possible. And this is not to mention the proprietary format of iTunes music which basically makes every purchase a lease and not an ownership. So with that said, it is very annoying that iTunes on start-up asks me to sign in, not once, but TWICE. For such a little thing, you would think it would be infuriating. But alas, I'm very tired of being bullied and that is all it is to me. ITunes is a marketing BULLY. I'll stop now before I start in on all the explicatives I can think of for iTunes Store.
CAN ANYONE HELP?

Try this...
Sign into the iTunes store and View account.
Uncheck Ping (to turn it off).
Also, iTunes prefs > Store. Uncheck Automatic downloads
And this is not to mention the proprietary format of iTunes music
Good thing we don't mention it then because AAC is not proprietary.
which basically makes every purchase a lease and not an ownership.
You mean exactly like when you purchase music on a CD (or from any other online store or source)?
You do own the actual CD, but for the music, all you are purchasing is a license to use it (a lease) in accordance with that license.

How to I get autofill to stop filling in my browser?

I have gone to preferences>autofill and gotten rid of things that were being filled in.
It's not working. I will start to type a letter in the browser, and it's filled in automatically. I don't want it to do that. How can I get it to stop? I did check Private Browsing as well. thanks!

HI,
Safari/Preferences - AutoFill web forms.
Make sure you unchecked those boxes.
Also, make note of all your preferences.
Then delete this file. com.apple.safari.plist
Go here: ~/Library/Preferences.
Move that .plist file to the Trash and restart your Mac.
