Quick question ...

I've spent about an hour searching for a fix for this, but no luck. Using IE8, the image provided by Captcha shows up as "squished". See http://stanm.org/index.php?option=com_chronocontact&Itemid=187

I'm at a loss as to why it is doing this because I have multiple other forms on the site that Captcha works fine and have tried most everything to remedy this. If one of you has a quick fix to this, I'm be grateful! Thanks in advance!

Hi cjkangas,

It looks as though it's picking up some styling from somewhere else in the template. The IE8 interpreted HTML show up as

<IMG alt="" src="http://stanm.org/components/com_chronocontact/chrono_verification.php?imtype=1" width=28 height=30 $included="null" smartload="3">

The height and width explain the image size. But I can't see where they are coming from.

Thank you for taking a moment to look at it, GreyHead. I appreciate your reply.

I'm confused as to why the other forms on the site are not doing the same thing? Any ideas as to why one form would pick up styling whereas the others would not? Or anyone able to link to me some kind of steps to root this out? I'd happily comb through things to fix this, but am lost as to what to do next.

Thanks again!

Hi cjkangas,

It is something odd, I'm afraid that apart from digging into the page code I don't have any better solution to offer. You can see the end result quite clearly using DeBug Bar in IE. I spent 10-15 minutes poking around without finding the cause though.
