Question: How to reset mcpatcha widget? about mcaptcha HOT 5 CLOSED

Seems to do the trick, thanks again.

When you you don't use a form, do mean you use JavaScript to upload data to the server?

@mcaptcha/core-glue JavaScript library is responsible for communicating with the widget. Specifically, handle listens for messages from the widget and passes to a higher level (web framework variants that we have) library to inject into the form.

A custom implementation of the core-glue library will allow you to not only retrieve the token efficiently but also reset the widget. Resetting, like you say, will have to be done by page refresh only. Having two-way communication between the protected page and the widget can be messy, so I want to avoid that 😅

Feel free to ignore: I might be missing something, but can you please explain why you would want to reset the widget? Usually, the visitor will be advanced to the protected resource, after successful CAPTCHA validation. But the case you describe requires the visotir to solve the CAPTCHA again.

Thanks, yep I'm using the token to send it to a server with JS. Currently the CAPTCHA is more or less for rate limiting & somewhat access controll in my case. The user can create upload a document to my site, the site will hash it and then proceeds to send the hash to my backend with the CAPTCHA token, there some data will be looked up and send back to the site. A small summary of this will be displayed to the user.

The user should be able to upload another document, if he wants, afterwards, but I can't reset the site as some information is still beeing displayed (otherwise the user wouldn't see the results).

The webpage is at it's current form to small that I didnt want to use webframeworks since it seems overkill (it's only two pages). I would link to the page but it's currently not published with the part we are talking about xD (some stuff doesn't work yet)

I hope my text makse sense xD
I might just add a reset button which will refresh the page and that might work for now.

Thanks for explaining! I think I understand it, if you want to show the CAPTCHA to the user again, then removing the iframe with JavaScript and creating it again when needed also works?

Might be worth a shot, I will try this in the next couple of days. Thank you
