What does this do that HTTP's Accept: header doesn't already do? If you have a sight impairment, your screenreader can (and should) tell servers that you prefer audio to graphics, so you can be served audio captchas instead of graphical ones. Alternatively, you could use nested HTML <object>s for this (provided that the text, image, and audio tests had the same answer, since the server couldn't tell which one was being used). <object> isn't yet implemented properly in released versions of Safari, or Internet Explorer for Windows, but it's still implemented in more browsers than any element that hasn't been invented yet. -- Matthew Thomas http://mpt.net.nz/
