I currently use something similar on my site. I randomly generate a string, place it in a hidden form text box and also insert it into a session. The two values are checked when the user submits the post.

The string is completely random and different for every page load.

This seems to work pretty well. It means that the bot needs to support both cookies and download the page that contains the hidden field, most don't.

Michael.
