HI, Walter -
I’ve looked into that and can’t get his information working either. I’m afraid I’m just lost on this one because I don’t know how to write the code exactly so it doesn’t get changed when its regenerated by FW 5.
If the form action POST had additional parameters where we could simply enter whether or not we elect to use Tim’s method or reCaptcha, and whatever other params were required to do that (ie, public and private keys), then it would flow very nicely.
I just don’t have the time anymore trying to develop a work-around. It shouldn’t be this difficult, I think.

I realize you went through that, I was telling Dave why they wanted his info. One of the reasons why you don’t see a ReCaptcha Action is that it exposes a larger problem to the developer than merely adding the files and coding the form keys correctly. In order to tell if a CAPTCHA was properly entered, you have to submit the form to a handler that is ReCaptcha-aware, and that handler has to also take care of the rest of the form at the same time.
Tim Plumb’s PHP Feedback Form Action might be a good candidate for this system, since it already handles nearly any sort of form you can throw at it. His Action includes a rudimentary “spam trap”, which is a hidden form field that a spam-bot would fill in (since it can’t “see” that the field is hidden) and then checks to see if that field was completed. This is a very good trick, and incredibly user-friendly, but some clients want to see the CAPTCHA in action, so they know it’s there. Maybe Tim could extend his Action or create a “With CAPTCHA” version that uses RC.

Forgive me, Walter. I have done all of that – last week!
I have my public and private keys and have tried to follow where and how to insert their code (java script and from lines) where it should be. I was able to somehow insert all of this into a FW page and it did show up, which is what you see.
I wish there were an action that supported a simple routine to insert areCaptcha into form, pass it your public and private keys, and then have it automatically configured to work with the FW html that’s generated.

ReCaptcha requires you to sign up, and also to create an account for the domain you will be using to submit your requests to their server. It’s not so much a creepy grab for personal information as one line in their defense against spammers trying to “game” their system.
If you want to test their system, you’ll need to sign up, and you’ll need to host the test site from a named server somewhere on the public 'net. It’s not possible to test from a file:/// or localhost:// address.

I had a quick look at the recaptcha site but I couldn’t find the info about putting it together without, I think, first Signing Up - and I am loathe to do so.
