Maybe I'm missing something.. if the intent is to have 'hidden'

that wouldn't work very well. A bot could easily see the hidden
fields and submit them along with whatever other data they were
sending.
I know that I can provide hidden text that bots can see but users
can't -- as demonstrated by this:

As such, I wonder if that may provide a twist to this. However, it
would only exist for sighted users.
I think that what Steve suggest may have some merit. I need to
think of some examples.

Would you be able to name a text field something really common like
"e-mail", place it off screen and then check to see if a certain
value is in there and if not don't submit the form? I remember
someone somewhere doing that.
Such as prefill the that text field with joe@xxxxxxxx and if it has
anything else reject the form?
Yeah, that would be the idea -- I was just trying to fathom some
really clever way to use the technique -- forgive me I'm strange that
way. My brain works are different.
Cheers,
tedd
