I just found out about Web Wiz and I've followed the sample directions to test it out on a client's form. But I'm getting an error when placing the code:





at top of the processing web page, which is a ASP that needs to start with:
<%@ Language = vbscript%>

Your example describes placing the comments above the HTML tag. Since there is no such tag in this case, what is to be done?

I've got other clients I'd like to purchase Web Wiz for, but I'd sure like to make sure I can get it to fully function first. Any assistance will be greatly appreciated.

You don't catually need the following at the top of your ASP file:-

<%@ Language = vbscript%>

But if you do have this it MUST always be the first thing in the file, so you would instead need to place the CAPTCHA code below this eg:-

<%@ Language = vbscript%>

I appreciate the timely reply to my question. Unfortunately your suggestion doesn't work. The opening lines in the processing ASP page are (FormMail v1.3):
<%@ Language = vbscript%>
<%option explicit %>
<%server.scripttimeout = 600 %>

I had tried moving the code below the <%@ Language = vbscript%> before writing here. When the code is placed below:
<%@ Language = vbscript%>



I get an error reading:

Microsoft VBScript compilation error '800a0400'
Expected statement
/forms/inspect.asp, line 7
option explicit
^

Placing the Web Wiz code down another line brings up the Invalid Verification Code page. Placing the code deeper into the processing page lets the form get submitted, but the validation process is skipped of course.I'm hoping there is still hope for getting this fixed.

thanks,
dc

You do not need the following lines which can be removed:-

<%@ Language = vbscript%>
<%option explicit %>

I have deleted the original intro lines of the FormMail code so the processing page (inspect.asp) starts as:






<%
'------------------------------------------- FORMMAIL V1.3 ------------------------------------------

I have followed each of the seemingly simple steps provided at
http://www.webwiz.net/webwizcaptcha/kb/captcha_basic_install.asp

Each time the form (Inspect_form.asp) is submitted, I get the incorrect CAPTCHA code page. I have not done any customization to the CAPTCHA image.

Any more suggestions?

Code at the top of the form page is:


<html>

Code within the form reads:
<p>
<textarea name="Additional Names" cols="32" rows="3" wrap="PHYSICAL"></textarea>
</p>
<p class="style1 style2">For verification purposes and to help prevent bot spams, please enter the code exactly as you see it in the image below <span class="style3">(Cookies must be enabled)</span>:</p>


<p align="center">
<input type="submit" name="Submit" value="Submit">

The CAPTCHA folder resides in the same directory as the form.

Any help will be appreciated. I'd really like to use this product. I would prefer to find out I'm overlooking something that will make me feel really stupid rather than start over with another solution.

thanks,
dc
