  • 0

I’m using Rails 3.1, and trying to setup Recaptcha so that it only shows once I have clicked the ‘Submit’ button on my form.

I am using the Jquery code below to hide Recaptcha until Submit is clicked, but it’s not working. Could you please take a look and let me know where I’m making a mistake?

    Building on tusar’s answer.

    Using type='button' should fix the undesired submission of the form, even when JS is not available.

    The final submit input should be inside the form.

    <form>
  <div id="first_button">
    <button type='button' id="your_button" class="btn span6 large">
      Submit
    </button>
  </div>

  <div id="real_form">
    CONTENT OF RE-CAPTCHA
    <button type='submit'>Real Submit</button>
  </div>
</form>​
<script>
  $(document).ready(function() {
    $('#real_form').hide();
    $('#your_button').click(function() {
        $('#real_form').show(); 
    });
  });
</script>
