Not Using WordPress…does this work for FrontPage apps using JavaScript? If so, how do you install it?

I’ve been using Akismet for awhile, but it has always bugged me that it does might actually *encourage* spammers. After all, the post was successful as far as the bot can tell….no error messages. I’d rather the spam not get into my database to begin with. Thanks for the great script!
