I am looking for a AJAX/Spry/Widget/etc. solution to assist with the monitoring of new web account creation. I am using Adobe DWCS4 with ColdFusion8, MySQL and Apache environment. I have the Developers Toolbox CD but have not installed or reviewed it -- if there is something on this medium. Any suggestions -- Adobe or non Adobe solutions -- is appreciated. Thanks in advance.

    I use this product: http://lyla.maestropublishing.com/

    I tweaked it with AjaxCFC, which that allows you to reload and validate the captcha without refreshing the page. Very handy.

    If you're just looking to apply a CAPTCHA image to your forms to prevent form spam and/or XSS attacks, you can use CF8's built-in tag, CFIMAGE, to handle this for you.

    Ben Nadel has a very good post on his blog about this (overview, code samples, etc.):

    Great. I did find this link in a search. However, being new to these Adobe products, I wanted to search more. You have just confirmed that I thought this article might be the content I am needing. Thanks for responding.
