Overriding google recaptcha css to make it respons

Question

I installed Google Recaptcha in a site (not a Wordpress site or Joomla) So do not offer any WP plugins or Joomla Extension :)

My problem is, the site is responsive and recaptcha is not. When I use Firebug to find its styles I realized that not only the library that Google provides does not contain the css files, and I can't override them in my custom-styles.css file because Google, very thoughtfully, applied the !important selector hack to EVERYTHING in their css, but I even tried classing it so that I can make a breach and hopefully override Google's styles but then the plugin doesn't work:(

Any ideas?

p.s. I am not using a different re-captcha either. Sorry. I'm sure there are some recaptcha geeks out here ;)

Here is the HTML. This is what the recaptcha.php renders from the server. THIS IS NOT WHAT i I HAVE IN THE ACTUAL PHP PAGE...(Don't have a CSS, and that is the main problem)

<div id="recaptcha_widget_div" style="" class=" recaptcha_nothad_incorrect_sol recaptcha_isnot_showing_audio"><div id="recaptcha_area"><table id="recaptcha_table" class="recaptchatable recaptcha_theme_red">

This is what I do have in the page

  require_once('recaptchalib.php');
  $publickey = "your_public_key"; // you got this from the signup page
  echo recaptcha_get_html($publickey);

And here is my problem

Answer 1

For reCAPTCHA (requiers jQuery):

$(function(){
  function rescaleCaptcha(){
    var width = $('.g-recaptcha').parent().width();
    var scale;
    if (width < 302) {
      scale = width / 302;
    } else{
      scale = 1.0; 
    }

    $('.g-recaptcha').css('transform', 'scale(' + scale + ')');
    $('.g-recaptcha').css('-webkit-transform', 'scale(' + scale + ')');
    $('.g-recaptcha').css('transform-origin', '0 0');
    $('.g-recaptcha').css('-webkit-transform-origin', '0 0');
  }

  rescaleCaptcha();
  $( window ).resize(function() { rescaleCaptcha(); });

});

This basically checks your browser width and depends the scale it should be transformed too. Best solution around at this point.

Screenshots result (full width, smaller width, smallest width):

Answer 2

The best way is that you use the google recaptcha and use this css code to make responsive,

#rc-imageselect, .g-recaptcha {
   display: inline; //the most important
}

#rc-imageselect{
   max-width: 100%;
}

.g-recaptcha>div>div{
   width: 100% !important;
   height: 78px;
   transform:scale(0.77); //the code to rescale the captcha obtained in this page
   webkit-transform:scale(0.77);
   text-align: center;
   position: relative;
}

Answer 3

You can simply add some transform style for the specific device you needed:

 @media only screen and (max-width : 767px)     {

 #rc-imageselect, .g-recaptcha {
    transform: scale(0.77);
    -webkit-transform: scale(0.77);
    transform-origin: 0 0;
    -webkit-transform-origin: 0 0; }
}

Answer 4

This is my solution with media queries. I use scale to scale it down to a reasonable size for mobile.

A simple and effective solution:

@media (max-width:575px) {
    #rc-imageselect, .g-recaptcha {
        transform:scale(0.77);
        transform-origin:0 0;
        margin-bottom: -20px;
    }
}

Answer 5

Google has complete documentation on how to style recaptcha forms here:

https://developers.google.com/recaptcha/docs/display

and you can completely override the html/css they provide with your own.

Answer 6

Try this one. Google responsive reCAPTCHA
