Captcha not firing on validation

[Mark]

I have a sign up form with validation. Everything validates except the captcha. Here is my web.config, which I think is configured correctly. I have no idea why this wont work. Also my page uses a master page which has the telerik:RadScriptManager.

Hello Mark,

The RadCaptcha uses the RadScirptManager's httpHandler to render the CaptchaImage (i.e. the image is served by this handler). Therefore you only need to register this handler once.

<httpHandlers>
      <add path="Telerik.Web.UI.WebResource.axd" type="Telerik.Web.UI.WebResource" verb="*" validate="false" />
</httpHandlers>

<handlers>
     <add name="Telerik_Web_UI_WebResource_axd" verb="*" preCondition="integratedMode" path="Telerik.Web.UI.WebResource.axd" type="Telerik.Web.UI.WebResource" />
</handlers>

However I don't think that this is the problem on your side. I suspect that some of the ValidationGroups have not been set correctly. Also it is possible that you have not set the ErrorMessage property (it has been reported before) and nothing is displayed even if the incorrect code has been entered.

Please check that you have setup the RadCaptcha control correctly (described above), and let us know how it goes. In case you still experience the problems please put together a simple running project where the issues can be observed and sent it back to us. We will do our best to provide a solution.


Sincerely yours,
Pero

It's working now. I didn't put in

 if (RadCaptcha1.Page.IsValid == true)
        {

}

on button click. I though it would fire like the form validations does.
