Why's my CAPTCHA doing this?

[etcbbu]

Hi all,

Check out the main form in the body of this page:

https://www.ktravisj.com/buildmysite.ph ... teBookmark

Notice how the input-box as a part of the CAPTCHA where the User is to type in the characters, it's, like, on a new white line *below* the actual CAPTCHA object.

I'm just using the standard, built-in CAPTCHA object, built-into WB. What's the deal? It's bee doing this for a while now..?

Looks like you have a margin top set to 39px which is pushing it down. Also the height is set to -3px in the code.

I think I may need some further help troubleshooting this, sir. Thanks for the help so far, it looks a little better. I saw where I go into the CAPTCHA properties, and changed the "Height" from 38 down to 25. But I'm not seeing where I edit that -3px of the height. I get what that probably means it's doing. *THAT'S* probably the crux of this issue; and even now, it looks a *little* better. but I'm still trying to figure out exactly which levers and dials I can switch and change that will get this looking 100% good.

If you need help then please share a demo project, so I can see all your settings.

Note: I do not need your complete project. Only a small project with one page and the elements that are relevant to your question.

Here's my project, stripped-down with just the " buildmysite.php " page in question in the .WBS file:

https://www.ktravisj.com/proj.zip
(yes, I also had to leave the non-published "masterpage.php" page in there, too--just ignore that. Just go to the buildmysite.php )

Please let me know when you have downloaded it, so I can remove it from my web-space

I was not able to load your project because of missing extension(s).
Can you please remove all extensions, scripts and other content that is not relevant to your question?

[etcbbu]

Crap..sorry, forgot to remove that one Extension. A new project is now at that same link, where I removed that Extension.

[Pablo]

Thanks for the updated project. but can you please describe exactly where I need to look to see the problem?

[etcbbu]

The CAPTCHA object. It still looks sort of weird when you look at it on the form on the live-page:

What exactly do you mean by 'weird'?
What do you see?
Can you please be more specific?

Here's what it looks like in my browser:

In between the actual white-box area where the user is to actually type the CAPTCHA letters, and the "blue" color surrounding the CAPTCHA object, there is this sort of "placeholder" white-space..? Is that normal..? Can I set that transparent, or something..?

Ok as your project file is no longer available to download I looked at the source can I ask why you have two textareas? At a guess I would have to say is you have placed the captcha on top of one of the textareas! Please check in the object manager to confirm that you have used two and remove the unrequired one,. Also why are you using textareas for your name and your email shouldn't these just be editboxes? Textareas are for use of multiple text whereas editboxes are for single line input!

It looks like you are using an older version of the software.
Please make sure you have the latest update.
