Overview

This plugin allows you to add captcha for forms in your site. You can choose between (http://www.google.com/recaptcha “reCAPTCHA”) and (http://keith-wood.name/realPerson.html “Realperson jQuery plugin”) (only one will be available at a time).

The captcha can be visible on:
* all site’s pages – excluding the default search form and the admin bar search.
* certain pages – you can choose from a pages’ list
* certain forms – if you know how to, you can introduce the jQuery selector for the form (e.g. #myform, .myform)

Note: the plugin replaces DOM elements with name and/or id submit. If there is any CSS formatting on the id #submit you need to replace it.
