I like how you've added the registration submit button via Javascript. I'm guessing you've done it like so that spam-bots will have a much more difficult time finding the submit button. Although, I wonder, if they scan the entire pages, with the Javascript intact, which they do, would any regular expression be able to pull it out of there and use it? I think it's definitely possible that it would grab the submit button without even trying to. Perhaps you should use the Javascript to construct the button using concatenation, that way you would break the regular expression that's hot on the heels of patterns.

javascript Code:

<script type="text/javascript">document.write("<p><input" + " type='submit' v" + "alue='Register'></p>"); </script><p><noscript><div class='error_msg'>ERROR: Please enable javascript to register.</div></noscript></p>

Basically just adding in some " + " in random places.
