Form validation
We’ve updated forms created in Web Press to use HTML5 validation when possible. If the user has a browser which supports the feature (currently just Chrome and FireFox), the browser itself will handle making sure that the form is valid before submission. For non-supporting browsers (namely Internet Explorer, Safari and some mobile browsers), we use some new JavaScript to enable the same functionality. This change provides a significant upgrade to the user experience with Web Press forms.
New CAPTCHA
As part of this upgrade we are transitioning to a new CAPTCHA (a CAPTCHA is the human verification test used to prevent automated spam). We now use a free service to generate both the visual and audio CAPTCHA on demand. It also provides a newer interface and experience.
Updating your form
When your form is next published from Web Press, you will get the updated version. You can see the new form validation in action at http://www.missouristate.edu/web/RedirectRequest.htm
