The Captcha field looks to be about 600 px wide in the form design view. Is there a way to resize it? Or does a form using Captcha need to be wider in order to accommodate the field?

Pretty soon this will be an option in the software, but you can make manual customizations to the CAPTCHA.

I cannot access the above link. Also, can a label be placed above the CAPTCHA?

Hiya Harold,

Hopefully Scott will jump in here and steer us in the right direction because I've searched all over and that article does not seem to exist anymore. Either it's being revamped to include more info or it's been deleted, not sure which

These features are built-into the software now. Just go to the Form Options Tab.

This suggestion was offered in another post by Hazy. Haven't tried it but it is an interesting concept.

Personally I thing captcha's detract visitors from filling in forms and I think you should see if you do get lots of spam that justifies it.

Back to Scotts Post . . .

I do not see how to set the size of the Captcha object nor how to enter a label for it. The system does not allow me to select/focus on the Captcha object. ???

Version 1.2 Form Options Tab

I must be a little dense (perhaps slightly hungover), but in the form options tab (I have v1.2) the only things I see related to Captcha is the Captcha setting (automatic) and the theme (clean). I do not see how to set a label for the Captcha object nor the size of the Captcha object. What am I missing?

I'm also of the belief that the Captcha is not a good thing unless you perhaps have a very busy site and even then the Captcha in it's current form, in a word, sucks. The whole idea for reducing spam is to prevent the form from being posted when a spammer fills it in right? If you put a reg expression field in your form and set it to required and then tell the client exactly what to fill in, the form won't validate. Longer explaination in the Tips and Tricks thread and here: http://www.coffeecup.com/forums/web-form-builder/help-with-inserting-an-alternative-captcha-script/

I think for most of us this is a pretty good alternative to the Captcha and should be fine for low volume sites besides being dead easy and built in. Thanks again CoffeeCup.
I can't take much credit for this. The original poster in the link was asking how to implement a very similar thing in WFB and I was tryng to figure out how and where to put the script into a WFB form when I saw the reg. expression field and looked it up in the help file. There are many examples of similar ideas floating around, but this is built in. I believe you could also add a small graphic in your form and have the client enter the image name.
PS to Scott: Was in the 80's yesterday so you know what I did after work!
