[var msgbox = document.getElementById("mytextarea");

I cannot for my life read this one either so this is another test ;-) About the ID's: good that CF wants the DOM to stay intact, but it's not good for me wanting to address the CFGRID ID either via JS (your solution does work however) or via CSS. I had this issue wanting to style the grid a certain way, which would override the default EXT framework CSS - alas it didn't work. And being on a shared server I cannot possibly change the root-files :-( Second time around it failed me initially (another unreadable Captcha) but the second time it let my comment pass even though I actually got it wrong the second time as well…

And this captcha sometimes gets a bit lenient, which is a good thing :) May be you were recognized as a trusted user :) On a serious note, i will find out why it didnt fail when it should. thanks for letting me know.

As I couldn't possible discern what the extreme long second word was, I just typed in "something". And then my comment was posted! Shouldn't it have failed me? At least that's how I as a user expect a Captcha to work.

Still wonder why though this ID is created in the fly and not set the same as the name - which in Webstandards terms would be the correct way of doing it.
