I just set up a page using the Captcha code. I am not a programmer by any means, so this has been a very slow process for me Smile

.

I notice when the page with the form opens, it has the following text next to the image box
" javascript:reloadCAPTCHA%28%29;" rel="nofollow - Load New Code ". I'm not really following why that is there. Does the client filling out the form have the option to change the code in the box at his discretion and if so why is that...

the page can be viewed at:

This is a experimental page. I will put the code on the real page after I figure out wheather I am doing this correctly or not.

Thanks,
sarb

The Load New Code option is there in case the user can not read the CAPTCHA code they can create a new one.

Is there a way to remove that if my client doesn't want it to appear there?

Thanks,

You could edit the CAPTCHA_form_inc.asp and remove the link.

Is there a way to validate this code so that it won't submit if this captcha box isn't filled out? I see there is a code in php, but my clients server won't work with that format. Needs to be ASP

PHP code is server side so the page would still submit.

What you need to do to prevent the form form submitting if the CAPTCHA textbox is empty is to use JavaScript on the client side.

If you are already using JavaScript to detect if the other form elements are filled in then you just need to add to this some JavaScript to also detect if the textbox has a value. The textbox is called 'securityCode'. The code would like like below:-

<script  language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript">
<!--
function CheckForm () { 

	var errorMsg = "";
	
	if (document.frmEnquiry.securityCode.value == "") { 
 		errorMsg += "\n\tSecurity Code \t- Enter the security code exactly as you see it in the image";
	}

	if (errorMsg != ""){
		msg = "______________________________________________________________\n\n";
		msg += "Your enquiry has not been sent because there are problem(s) with the form.\n";
		msg += "Please correct the problem(s) and re-submit the form.\n";
		msg += "______________________________________________________________\n\n";
		msg += "The following field(s) need to be corrected: -\n";
		
		errorMsg += alert(msg + errorMsg + "\n\n");
		return false;
	}
	
	return true;
}
// -->
</script>

You then add the following to your <form...... tag so that the javascript function is called when the form is submitted:-

onsubmit="return CheckForm();"
