Blank iFrame being added in Google Chrome

[Chris McKinnel]

It looks like reCaptcha is appending an empty iFrame in Google
Chrome. Is this a bug or a feature?

I have temporarily hidden this iFrame as it breaks my site's layout
using:
iframe[src="about:blank"] {display:none;}

I'm calling the script at http://www.google.com/recaptcha/api/challenge?k=xxxxMySiteKeyxxxx

Duplicate? http://groups.google.com/group/recaptcha/browse_thread/thread/e550b4d57518956c/

If it is, then it's your fault. :) Try running your site through
validator.w3c.org and fix any error (and also warning).

Hi Adrian,

The page in question validates as valid HTML5. I shouldn't say it
breaks my site layout, it just changes it a little as the inline
styling of the iframe appended by recaptcha isn't quite what it should
be.

Instead of:

<iframe src="about:blank" style="height: 0px; width: 0px; visibility:
hidden; border-top-style: none; border-right-style: none; border-
bottom-style: none; border-left-style: none; border-width: initial;
border-color: initial; ">This frame prevents back/forward cache
problems in Safari.</iframe>

It could simply be:

<iframe src="about:blank" style="display:none">This frame prevents
back/forward cache problems in Safari.</iframe>

Which would resolve any issues.

Do the developers read these threads or is just this a place to ask
for help from other developers?

Hi Chris,

First I'd just like to start with don't listen to Adrian, he clearly has no idea why this is happening and just feels the need to troll and jump to the assumption that you have no idea what you're doing and he knows everything.  He also probably calls himself God, but that's getting off topic.

I will not pretend like I know why this is happening because I don't.    However, I do have a css workaround for you that fixed this issue for me:

iframe[src="about:blank"] {

display:none;

}

Cheers!
