RE: [WEB SECURITY] Defeating CAPTCHA

I suppose if the user had to select each letter and/or numeric digit
from a captcha seperately,  and enter these using a randomly generated
input sequence by the server, that would block any programs from reading
the CAPTCHA and feeding it directly to the form input field.

Eg. CAPTCHA: ZXCVBNM

Please enter the above CAPTCHA in the following sequence:

3rd letter: [ C ]
6th letter: [ N ]
5th letter: [ B ]
2nd letter: [ X ]
7th letter: [ M ]
4th letter: [ V ]
1st letter: [ Z ]

What's to stop the program from reading the labels on the form fields to determine the order to enter the characters in? The labels can't be images, or we'll just OCR them too!


Or am I missing something?
