Hi everybody,
Is it just me or is reCAPTCHA no longer supported in IE6?
I can't get it to display at all just nothing.

Owen,

I am having the same issue in IE as a whole, not just IE6

Subscribing, I have the same issue using the newest 6.x dev versions of Captcha and reCaptcha. Works fine w/o issues in Firefox.

Nope, not the issue. Using only HTTP.

I am also having this issue. Not sure why IE6 isn't supported. Especially since 50-60% of corporations still use it.

phasing out support for browsers which have been sunset and are unsupported by their suppliers is a good thing and a current trend. http://www.google.com/#sclient=psy&hl=en&site=&source=hp&q=ie6+phase+out...

worth looking @: http://www.theie6countdown.com/default.aspx

That percentage of users has been abandoned by MS , it's time the rest of the web does the same and for those corporations you speak of to invest in their internal resources.

If this is to be fixed it has to be fixed in -dev and as posted in comment #2 -dev displays the same behavior.

Well, reCAPTCHA has never worked for me in IE8 anyways.... always get "Recaptcha is undefined" JS error.

now that's something that can actually be chased down and looked at.

I will install on a fresh drupal install and see if I get the same js undefined error.

If on an install with multiple js modules running may want to see if there is a conflict. I'd also check js aggregation possibly.

How about adding support like whats posted here:
http://www.hashbangcode.com/blog/recaptcha-not-displaying-ie6-525.html

I was able to get IE6 support, with a small change in the recaptchalib.php - so it renders the non-js version for IE6 browsers. (So dropping support of the nice recaptcha - and giving them the ugly version).

Its more diplomatic then dropping support entirely :)

I tend to say IE6 is dead and we do not need to add this code any longer.
