Add Captcha refresh

What is the correct way to add a refresh button to the Captcha on the Register and Forgot Password pages generated by Security Assist?

the code to show the captcha image will look something like:

php:
<img  src="webassist/captcha/wavt_captchasecurityimages.php?width=200&height=50&field=Security_Code_1&bgcolor=FFFFFF&transparent=0&bgimage=&gridfreq=20&gridcolor=000000&gridorder=behind&noisefreq=20&noisecolor=000000&noiseorder=behind&characters=5&charheight=&font=fonts/MOM_T___.TTF&textcolor=000000" alt="security code" width="200" height="50" />




edit that, so that it has an id:

php:
<img id="capt1"  src="webassist/captcha/wavt_captchasecurityimages.php?width=200&height=50&field=Security_Code_1&bgcolor=FFFFFF&transparent=0&bgimage=&gridfreq=20&gridcolor=000000&gridorder=behind&noisefreq=20&noisecolor=000000&noiseorder=behind&characters=5&charheight=&font=fonts/MOM_T___.TTF&textcolor=000000" alt="security code" width="200" height="50" />




then add a refresh image next to it with an onClik event to regenerate the captcha graphic:

php:
<img  src="refresh.png" height="18" onclick="document.getElementById('capt1').src+='&ref=1'" />

The captcha refresh now works fine on the registration and forgetpassword pages.

However while testing the forgetpassword page I found that the following message was returned "Your email address could not be found in our records. Please try again."

I tried a number of trial email addresses which are definitely in the users table but with the same error message.

The site is not yet live and only on a local testing server, is this the reason for this problem?

you need to edit the forgot password server behavior and set the correct SMTP Server address and port for sending emails from your server, if you are not sure of the correct address to use, contact your host.

Can you elaborate on the "onClick" behavior

Hello,

I keep screwing up the spelling of Wednsday and would like to add the refresh option to both Captcha features.

I understand everything to the point of:
"image next to it with an onClik event to regenerate"

I know where to find the OnClik behavior, but I have no idea what to write for the action, can you elaborate?
