recaptcha plug in difficulties

Hello.

I believe i am not able to configure the recaptcha plug in to work with chrono forms.

I have configured it - but when i add {ReCaptcha} to my html form the result simply prints {ReCaptcha} instead of the image plug in. Then i went to help and saw the message below:

"You will need to include the ReCaptcha box in your form HTML using {ReCaptcha}. You can do this using a 'Text' item from the Toolbox with a value of {ReCaptcha}. You may need to editt the styling a little to format the box correctly (try removing the 'form_element' class from the surrounding div)."

So what does "using a text item from the toolbox with a value of {ReCaptcha} mean??????

Thank you.

Hi Dwyan,

Having {ReCaptcha} in your HTML should be enough. I think that the Help refers to dragging a Custom Element or Formatted Text into the Preview box.

Please see this FAQ for more on ReCaptcha.

Thank you for your response. Very much appreciated.
I did put that in {ReCaptcha} but when I view the form I just see {ReCaptcha} as a text. why could this be?

Hey I managed finally to get the {ReCaptcha} to show in the form by adding the following code:

<div class="form_item">
<div class="cf_captcha">
<span>{ReCaptcha}</span>
</div>
<div class="cfclear"> </div>
</div>

so that's great! But now the form is still submitted even though i DON'T fill out the captcha characters which defeats the whole purpose.

1. I have tried adding "required" as a class. <div class="form_item required">
2. I have turned off image verification in anti spam
3. my recaptcha plug in is enabled (green color) in the plug in link.
4. I have submitted the above code in the html right before the submit button.

So please please can you guide me to reach an answer to this. What am I doing wrong? What am I not doing right?
