As in the previous version of reCaptcha, the form still posts to the page with your form.

The new After Validating - Go to, functions as a redirect not a post so the form variables are not carried through. Those of us who form an email on a separate page still find this extension useless.

My form submissions are redirected to a page that produces a CDO Mail email, but with the redirect the form inputs are blank. Using ASP Request.Form.Count on my results page shows Count = 0.

Anyone ever find a work around for this?

Hi Robin,

Form variables are never carried to a redirect page. Redirect page is just a followup page, usually a thank you page.

Mail processing should be done in the same page. Best way to do it is together with our Smart Mailer extension. So you add the reCAPTCHA and the Smart Mailer on the same page. The Smart Mailer is now also compatible with reCAPTCHE so it can see if it is validated or not and send mail only when validated.

See this video of how it is done:

and an extra video about redirect page usage:

George,

Thanks for the reply. The Smart Mail extension may be the way to go for future projects but I have dozens of forms in use now that would have to reverse engineered to use this.

I was able to circumvent the issue above by iterating the form into session varaibles then recapturing them on my CDO mail page. At last I can use the extension.

I will look into the Smart Mail extension for future development.

Thanks
