I have the reCaptcha form working perfectly. At least in IE that is.
If you try it in Firefox it never works. I even used the web
developer mod to switch posts to gets to look at the result, and it
appears as though the values are not getting posted. It's like in
FireFox all the inputs are being ignored.

Any ideas?

Form is located at:

Thanks,

Why aren't you using recaptcha_get_html()?

Doh - sorry; not thinking straight. A quick look at the source, and
comparing it with mine which does work on FF doesn't throw up anything
too obvious.

Yeah, I am using it correctly per instructions. All my testing is
saying that something is making FireFox ignore those input fields.
But I can't figure out why. It has to be something on the page that
is causing it. On a page by itself it works in FireFox, but on this
page it is not. I just have to figure out what it is, and that
doesn't appear too easy. The page was designed by someone else, and
looking at the code it is a little sloppy, just need to break it down
I guess.

Thanks,
Jason

Try starting with another page with just the <form> container on it. If that works, then start adding the other stuff that's on the page, if it doesn't, start removing the other fields in the form...

Well I believe I finally found the problem. It appears that when
viewing "Generated Source" that the reCaptcha is built in a table of
it's own. And it's a table that for some reason doesn't play well
with others. If you have a form that is within a table, then the
reCaptcha table within that table will get ignored by FireFox. At
least that's what happened to me.

Remove the form, style it in CSS, everything works out.

Thanks,
Jason

Just a point. That page has 53 errors and 47 warnings on the W3C
validator:

Might be an issue, might not but when troubleshooting one should start
with a clean slate.
