captcha not functioning with IE8...

OK...this is for an older version of Chronoforms for Joomla 1.0.x...Chronoforms version 2.3.9. Captcha does not work with IE8 but does with every other browser and version. 100% of the time with IE8 a message is returned saying "Sorry, you have entered a wrong verification code."

Any idea on how to fix this? Any help is appreciated as IE8 unfortunately is making its way out to popularity.

Thanks!

Hi mbajames,

You probably need to force IE8 into IE7 compatibility mode for the page with the form on it. There was a thread on this a couple of weeks ago.

PS . . . and Joomla 1.0 is now past it's sell-by date :-(

Thanks for the info. I had scoured the threads before posting, but had not been able to get anything to work. Even after entering

<meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=EmulateIE7" />

directly after the <head> tag of the affected template (and clearing history, cache, and running c-cleaner) it still gives the same error in IE8.

Any ideas on a different approach?

--you are right, 1.0.x is past its date, and the effected site will be taken over at some point in the future...but it is a thick site.
