Just purchased the CAPTCHA software and on implementation I notices the input box where you enter in the code did not have color shading in it.

Took me a while to figure out what was causing this because the "example_form.asp document worked fine. What I found was that using a DOCTYPE (any DOCTYPE) made this shading for the input box disappear. In fact I even tried erasing the definition so that all that was left was <!DOCTYPE> and it still made the shading go away.

Can you provide a fix for this anomaly?

The DOCTYPE I use for my website is:

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">

Again, as I said earlier, it really does not matter what doctype you use as they all cause this problem.

Hello,

I am looking into this.. I spent a couple hours on it so far. I am bit confused why it is doing that for you as it is working fine here.

http://www.xperienceforums.com/xperience/register.asp

where the doctype is set as follows

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<HTML xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xml:lang="en">

I will refund you if I can not find out what is going on within a few days.

Thanks for looking in to this. It is definitely strange. I have pushed the files up to my server and getting the same response there as I did in my local environment.

First take a look at the original [example_form.asp] file (This is using the e same paths as the next 2 files):
http://www.cognecy.co.uk/example_form.asp

As you can see it works just fine the way it is supposed to.

---- ----- ----- ----- -----

Next, here is the same file with only the DOCTYPE added in:
http://www.cognecy.co.uk/example_form_B.asp

With the only thing changed being the addition of the DOCTYPE, the input field no longer shades colors.

----- ----- ----- ----- -----

Finally, I have a mock-up of the form I am going to be using. I am still testing the validations out but it does have the CAPTCHA installed (though the form action is null at this point)

http://cognecy.co.uk/contactTEST.asp

Let me know if you need anything else from me to help isolate this issue. From my original order, you should have my contact information and I will be available this weekend.

I figured it out.. all it was was missing "#"s before the number codes.

example

= "FFFFFF"

vs

= "#FFFFFF"

adding the doctype made things more strict thus no colors showed up there

Apparently the version of the code I used with Xperience Forums was updated and the code you downloaded was not.

I am going to give you a new version of the one file to try in a little bit

All is good now. Thanks again for the support on this product. After looking at so many different CAPTCHA products this one, above all others, impressed me the most.

I think the only thing that woudl top it off would be the addition of the sound file. I may work on adding that one myself in my spare time.

However, only about 8 people have purchased it :(

That may change for you soon. Now that we are managing several websites and have our hosting service full up and running, I am recomending to all my customers that they need to get this product. You may get multiple purchases from me on behalf of my customers in the near future

I will do my part
