What CAPTCHA?

> Also how to refresh the captcha image on it's own?

You'd use AJAX. Why do you want this feature?

Here is the Captcha script.

How do I make this work for me in any form?

I don't know. Do you know PHP? Do you have GD libraries installed on your
server? Are you SURE you need a CAPTCHA?

Yes to PHP.
Yes gd libraries.
Yes need Captcha for spammers.

What is this AJAX stuff you are goint on about?, if that works then send me details or tutorials.

More information available for your review and evaluation. Have a look at Ajax Data Services.

And also at general page at Adobe Labs about Adobe's other web technologies for your information.

Additionally, there is, in fact, lot of information available relating to data validation around Dreamweaver Developers or do some bit of research. I think you are capable of doing some bit of research through Google on Ajax as well. That is to say, there is lot of options for you to learn by doing/research. If stuck, come and back and ask for some help as well.

Did you see my reply in other post about "accessibility" standpoint? I take that you didn't read that one, too.

Good luck!

AJAX = asynchronous javascript and xml.

It's not really a specific thing...jsut a broad term for using javascript to
create queries to the server without refreshing the entire page. If you want
to refresh the image but not the page, then you need to use AJAX.

Sorry, I don't do PHP, so can't help you too much with the specific code you
have.

I will encourage you to rethink the captcha, though. There's often easier
ways to fix Spam for your end-users than having to have them deal with
Captchas.

Westmatrix99,

Also, where did you gather information about Captcha resource come from? If you have download some information or source code from, you should address the issue from website where you get the information/code coming from. Perhaps that you also want to use forum over there or contact the person who created the avaliable source code for you to use the downloaded files.

As you see, lot of us over here dislike much about Captcha with plenty of reason and facts in other postings you posted. And you have not responded to those posts after some of us have posted. And then you create other new posting for unfinished issue. Please try to keep the same issue under the same orginial posting.

That is to say, it is confusing and difficult for many of us to participate and go back and forth. You probably realize that two of us was willing to help and offer you some tips or cues. Pariticipants dislike to see more than two postings under same subject by same original posters.

I don't meant to give you a lecture, but if you didn't realize this point so far. Have a great day and hope my suggestion be of a solution or some guideline for you to use and follow through.

Again, good luck! Do some homework and do some research. ;)

Westmatrix99,

I happen to know of wonderful volunteer and user-to-user forum participant for a long time over there at Adobe GoLive, he offers lot of nice tutorials and suggestions at his site, feel free to learn more about Captcha Security information avaliable at his site.

Most of topics are related to GoLive stuff. But I know of Captcha security and ProcessForm as well as NateMail were included in tutorials are also avaliable for Dreamweaver.

Have a look at MindPalette Tutorials page.

There is a great Form Validation tutorial avaliable.

Hope that helps and again, and again, good luck!

West,

Let us know how that works for you.

But let me tell you one thing, it is working nicely to omit spammers. But it is pain in the neck in terms of accessibility standpoint. Perhaps that you should also include the audio link next to the security code along with it. That will help for both: abled and visually impaired Internet users.

The CAPTCHA I'm using also does the audio link - it is a definite MUST for
accessibilty.
