reCAPTCHA is heavy javascript. I think the limiting factor isn't the browser per-se, but the level of javascript support in your browser, and if you have javascript turned on. Some folks opt to disable javascript, so Jose might also check he has javascript turned on. Sites that use reCAPTCHA can opt to enable a mode that will work on browsers without javascript, but site admins (i.e. SourceForge) have to take an extra step to make that happen. I haven't looked at the SourceForge page's HTML code, but maybe they didn't take that extra step. https://developers.google.com/recaptcha/docs/faq#does-recaptcha-support-users-that-dont-have-javascript-enabled ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Check out the vibrant tech community on one of the world's most engaging tech sites, Slashdot.org! http://sdm.link/slashdot _______________________________________________ Freedos-devel mailing list Freedos-devel@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/freedos-devel
