This JavaScript will help you to protect your page with a so-called security number feature (turning, validation). It use a combination of JavaScript and Macromedia Flash technology. Protect yourself against spam robots on your web page using this JavaScript!

Number Protection

Random 6-digit number generated and stored in cookie with defined name and then displayed by Flash clip for user, so later you can just verify cookie value with user input (you should provide a form for user to type in number) and this will help you to protect your submission pages from robots and/or login areas from dictionary hacking.

Number displaying

Three colors provided for number area - background color, text color and color of the line which goes up and down across the number. You can specify dimensions of number area as well (width and height).

Server-side processing

All commonly used scripting languages can process cookies easily, so you can make just a small addition to existing processing script to check user input: with Perl you can retrieve cookies by using CGI::Cookie module.
Example:
# fetch existing cookies
use CGI qw/:standard/;
use CGI::Cookie;
%cookies = fetch CGI::Cookie;
$check = $cookies{'cookie_name'}->value;
With PHP checking cookies even easier: $check=$_COOKIE['cookie_name'];
Of course cookie_name should be replaced to cookie name specified by you for the applet. Then just compare retrieved cookie value with field which were used in your form for typing-in check number (check that its not empty as well).
