How to refresh the image only?
How to select just one type of background?

Have you download the captcha and tried it yet?

Yes got it and it's cool but would like to make changes to it.

Keep in mind this is a very simple captcha, and if know your javascript make all the changes you want. But you can't change any backgrounds.

Westmartix99,

There is a catch about using Captcha -- it can be a real problem for visually impaired Internet user who can't see the security code. However I have seen a workaround solution to that, including an audio file to convey the message.

Just thought that you need to be aware of this on both sides -- as in positive and negative side of Captcha implemention.

It can be a real problem for pretty much anyone. They are annoying. ;o)

In the end, distorted cryptic-text image captchas should always be a last
resort.

If you must know it's a GD problem and downloaded 2 versions of PHP and tried all the things needed to get this GD going.

I managed to find just one file to fix it all:

Thanks All for your help.
Sorry forgot to mention you need to have a .png file as well, called captcha.png for this to work.
Cheers

Hi all

I got it to work but would like to know how to refresh just the image on the page and not the whole page.
Any ideas or ways to do this?
Cheers
