Re: CAPTCHA image validation in web form

as you note each image need an caption in each language, then depending the
user language the captions to show is simply depending on the array index
(i.e. 1=english 2=spanish 3=french and so on).
of course making multilanguage apps are complex, so into this complexity is
a natural function, everithing depending of the language.

also using the transaction-id assigned to the client (cookie or hidden
field) there are easy to admit only one or even none selection error.
putting the idea in pause for pro/cons.

Thanks,
Guillermo.

not too simple at all, Guillermo. That would do nicely. I think
there was a language requirement not being English, though? Maybe not. I
get confused easily.

Anyway, even if there were, some buttons for different languages
which would redisplay with captions in selected language. But then
following pages would have to be in that language as well.

Of course the foil here is that a resubmit wuth a different
selection each time will get through, but no bot is going to be
programmed for that for a custom page.

Simple but effective.

the program shows an html with an image,
but the image is not an captcha, the image is an small photo: a boat in

the

sea.

below the image, the question: please select the image:
and an select/combobox or check/radio with several possibilities:
_ ICE _ BOAT _ GIRL _ THE MOON _ FLOWERS _ GUITAR _ THE SUN

you get the idea, the user click in BOAT and voila,
only human can select the adecuate? ocr is unable at least.

maybe an low number of images are enough,
this can be made using RPG, no js code required.

too simple?
