When captcha entered incorrectly, entire page is messed up

atoddvr6 24 Feb, 2014
I have a form posted to my site and everything seems to be working besides the captcha. If you enter it wrong the entire page gets messed up and I'm not sure why. It does this in Chrome and Firefox, but amazingly not IE :? . The form is a "simple form". The only advanced thing I did was switch it to advanced mode and turn on Ajax submission so the whole page isn't refreshed. I have tried turning off Ajax but that doesn't help. Any help would be greatly appreciated!🤔

Also, even if you enter the captcha correctly, once you hit submit it still does the same thing. So I feel like it's an Ajax issue but I turned it off...

I went into the Setup section and clicked Edit for the HTML (Render form) step. Then I scrolled down and chose Relative URL = No and AJAX Submit = No. That has solved the problem for now. It would still be nice to use AJAX and/or stay on the same page but this works.

Hi atoddvr6,

I'm not at all clear how Max has it set up in CFv5 but I suspect that Captcha may not work at all with Ajax - typically it requires that the form is submitted with POST to trigger the check action.

Cool. So do I check the submission method in the HTML (Render form) Edit section? If so, Form Method is currently set to "File". That's what it was by default. Although emails are going through, should it be changed?

Hey, guys! I think this is topic for me. I also have a problem with the incorrect CAPTCHA. No matter what is written in the field, right or wrong, it will send an email. How do I proceed? How do I prevent the form to get things done when CAPTCHA is not right? Thank you.

Hi Luizcotta,

Please make sure that you have an "Event loop" action under the "on fail" event of the "check captcha".
