first problem: clicking to refresh CAPTCHA results in broken image. http://jquery.bassistance.de/validate/demo/captcha/ <-- see demo easy fix: in file image_req.php, change: 'img src="images/image.jpg?' to img src="images/image.php?'
upon doing this CAPTCHA works fine, and will refresh one time without clearing the whole form. The second time you click it, everything in the form disappears. i tried changing echo '<a href="index.php" onclick="refreshimg(); return false;" title="Click to refresh image"><img src="images/image.php?' . time() . '" width="132" height="46" alt="Captcha image" /></a>'; to echo '<a href="index.php" id="refreshimg" title="Click to refresh image"><img src="images/image.php?' . time() . '" width="132" height="46" alt="Captcha image" /></a>'; which seemed to make more sense. with them both the same, i then just made the CAPTCHA image an include. the form behaved exactly the same no matter which way i tried. on first CAPTCHA reset, image changes without disturbing the form contents. on second, it resets the form entirely (without seeming to reload the whole page). example here: http://rksdesign.com/jquery-validate/index.php
