@Ben_M,
Thanks for your reply!
I understand that you are suggesting client-side validation, which would definitely work, however, at the cost of form security. It’s pretty easy to break client-side JS validation. Thus, it would still require server-side validation to ensure maximum form processing security. Also, the captcha is processed via Google api so I don’t think that client-side would work either (not 100% on that)
Cheers,
Doug
