Hi,

I have just installed reCaptcha on my website. If the words fail the
first time I have the page which processes the form to instruct the
user to use the back button and try again. However, doing this in
Safari seems to cause the recaptcha to fail each time unless the user
presses the refresh button on the reCaptcha. Using the back button in
Firefox seems to work each time. Is there a way to get around this
problem?

Thanks,
wakey

Don't make the user press the Back button.

Re-present the data from the previous screen on the current one, with
a new reCAPTCHA.

Not only does this 'fix' your reCAPTCHA problem, it also solves the
terrible UI problem of having to 'press back.'

Thank mate, really appreciate the quick reply.

Yeah that does sound like a much better solution, wasn't keen on using
the back button! Will do some re-design.

Thanks again :)
