Hi Darren,

I did do this some time ago but didn't document it at all I'm afraid.

I recall using simple include DynaMents so it is possible.

However, that said, I have tended to avoid CAPTCHA as much as possible
by implementing a different kind of spam control that only reduces the
spam and not prevents it completely. The goal is to obviously avoid
barriers for human users where possible and captcha is the scorn of
many users.

The idea was given to me by Tobias Mitter of netmedia and the it goes
like this:

- You provide an additional field in your form and make the HTML
markup make it "look" real.
- Use CSS to hide it in the browser as most Spam bots don't take CSS
into account.
- If a value is populated into this field when the form is submitted
then it is more likely to be a bot rather than a human as the human
wouldn't even see the field.

I know that this approach is not what you asked but I thought I'd
throw that in for consideration as it is more user friendly then those
irritating Captchas.

Regards,

Dan

Another Captcha system JCaptcha was integrated with an Iolet http://jcaptcha.sourceforge.net/.

If you have to have captcha and you have the Open API it could be an option. There are very simple Iolet samples in the API docs.

reCaptcha's probably easier.
