Patrick,

Great article. Unless you are communicating from the future, the update s/b 08-Nov-2010 not 08-Nov-2011.

Best Regards,
Robert

Hi Mark,

did you also have a problem with the new APEX 4.0 plug-in available from http://apex.oracle.com/plugins ?

My website is ssl only and I couldn’t get this to work. If I put the iframe (http://code.google.com/apis/recaptcha/docs/display.html) into my page by itself, I saw this error : “Navigation to webpage was canceled.”
The solution is to use https for the recaptcha URL instead of http. I actually converted the URL here to the new google URL : https://www.google.com/recaptcha/api/challenge?k=

Thanks for your feedback, Patrick (just now seeing your feedback). I will try it out in 4.0. We are not up to 4.0 in that application but I can try it out online.

Thanks,
John

Nice plug-in, but it can be broken with Firebug. Just delete the ‘td’ tag which contains the plug-in. Hope it will be fixed

Hi John,

I have implemented the above captcha as an item type plug-in for Oracle APEX 4.0. See http://apex.oracle.com/plugins for details. I wouldn’t be aware that you can use a CAPTCHA in an authentication scheme, but you should easily be able to add the new item at all the places where you can enter data.

Regards
Patrick

Patrick,

could this be implemented as an authentication scheme? I have an APEX application that is a public application (no username/password required) but we would like to keep the bots out! Could a CAPTCHA be used as an authentication scheme?

Thanks!
John

Hi Patrick,
while signing up for APEX 4.0 (http://tryapexnow.com/) another
captcha feature is shown that is more comfortable than this one you described above. Can you show me a way to integrate this feature?

Thanks and Regards,
Juergen

Just curious if this sort of thing would work in the Oracle Apex cloud at apex.oracle.com as it may require a proxy.

Best regards,

Steve
