It has always been that way in Form Wizard because I could not get Recaptcha to work inside an UpdatePanel.

I'll try again when I get a chance.

I spent most of yesterday afternoon trying again but to no avail. Googling it I find lots of people reporting the problem including my own post from back in 2008. They have an example page with an UpdatePanel in the source code for the recaptcha .NET plugin, and it has the same problem, if the user enters an incorrect string for the solution it correctly fails validation but then the recaptcha dissappears from the page so the user is not able to correct it or try again. I've reported it here.

The next step would be for me to try and fix the recapthca control to make it work in UpdatePanel or implement a new one. I may try it but for the moment I'm going to punt because I have too many other things needing my attention. I do have some ideas to try having looked at the current implementation of the .NET plugin and the documentation for the javascript way of implementing recaptcha.

fyi, this morning I implemented changes in the Recaptcha .NET plugin and it now works inside UpdatePanel. So this will be fixed in the next release of mojoPortal.

I'm also going to see if they will take my fix upstream so that I won't have to maintain a custom version of the Recaptcha .NET plugin.

Hi Jamie,

With the new version of Form Wizard Pro 2.6.0.4 released today, you can add this to your user.config

<add key="FormWizardPro:ForceSubkismetForRecaptcha" value="false" />

and replace the Recaptcha.dll with the one from our source code repository in the _libs folder and then Recaptcha should work in Form Wizard.

I hope they do take the fix upstream but I have this gut feeling they won't and don't care based on the not helpful response I got basically saying UpdatePanel sucks instead of being interested in fixing the problem. I emailed the guy the modified files with good comments around my changes but he never replied so far. People have complained online also for a long time that the Recaptcha plugin doesn't work in medium trust, its another easy fix I also sent with the UpdatePanel fix. I've been compiling my own recaptcha every time I updated it to solve the medium trust problem. It really isn't a very complicated control so if they don't take the fix I'll just either roll it into our own sources or I'll fork it and put it on Codeplex as a new project. I'll give them some time first though, he might just be too busy.

Best,

Joe
