Captcha won't open
I was trying to setup an account on Illinois' Ipass website. The account creation is Captcha protected. Here is what to do to replicate my problem in tff 45.7:
www.getipass.com
Click on "Not registered? Create an Online Account" in the blue header. A new page opens.
Below the fields to enter personal info (no need to do that to test this issue), hit the "I am not a Robot" check box.
A spinner starts up, never to end.
With tff 31.4, a picture pops up and it asks you to click on various fields.
On tff45.7 I made sure I turned off all pop-up and adblocking. Both browsers use the same set of extensions (and I did not turn off adblocking in 31.4).
It is not a super-big deal, but...

I'm not sure if it's responding to me having done this before on other sites, but after the spinner goes for a bit, I get a check mark.

No problems with TFF 45.7 here, either. Make sure you're not blocking Google or third party JavaScript execution in any way.

That means the Captcha got solved.So it appears I have a local problem, then, I suppose. (Incidentally, it is on a G5 running Leo).
Thanks,
Uli

if you get that problem without getting the 'free pass' check for solving nothing
(that happens tome as well sometimes), and you feel adventurous, try this:
• highlight the captcha or area where it would have been if you cannot see it; • right-click-> inspect element; (splits screen into upper half, where the page is, and
lower half, with the source) • select div with captcha in it (the section will be the only one highlighted in the page above, corresponding to the html element selected below) • right-click--> edit as html • control a (or edit-->select all-->copy • either
-open up a plain text editor, paste where it says PASTE HERE, so that the following is before and after what you pasted :
• -save plain text file with extension '.html,' view in browser in private mode • or, if you post code snippets or can render with something like BBedit, do that • now you can see your captcha - as long as it did not communicate with the original page and refresh itself.
here are screenshots cobbled from this site and captcha --though properly of
course it would be the same site -- and with slightly more markup because i'm
lazy and used the form and faux-publishing functionality of
hixie's data kitchen.
i attached them as well but don't know where they went, so i uploaded to imgur; hope that is comprehendable to someone out there.
perhaps this illustrates method of accessing an inaccessible browser element
be seeing you.
