WebScribble Help! Causes errors with reCaptchas.

koziru · #1 (**permalink**) 10-07-2009, 07:42 AM

Hello all,

First of all, Facebook Connect worked like a charm out of the box, the only problem I noticed was on pages that used reCaptcha for assistance in removal of spam. Facebook connect keeps creating errors in IE8 when the two items are loaded on the same page.

Is there a work around for this?

Thanks,
Rob.

Please try opening
templates/YOUR_TEMPLATE/component.php
templates/YOUR_TEMPLATE/index.php
and add the following code

Code:

<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xmlns:fb="http://www.facebook.com/2008/fbml" ...

I've already added the required Facebook XFBML line. As mentioned, it works on all pages, except it seems to conflict with pages that load reCaptcha - such as contact us and register pages.

Here is the error output that IE8 displays:

Could you please PM me your FTP details?

Eugene I've found that the root of the problem is that reCaptcha is still trying to load itself before and after the page is loaded, which conflicts with other javascript functions (I.E. Facebook Connect). Other browsers manage javascript much better than IE8 (as you probably know).

Now, I need to figure out how to integrate the reCaptcha AJAX API, instead of the normal challenge it sends out. Hopefully that will cure the problem.

It worked - I've integrated reCaptcha with its AJAX API, then set a delay to allow it wait until Facebook Connect has finished loading.

Thanks anyway Eugene!
