Baffling yet simple if...else problem

[Zoomey]

Simple code is as below. I am obviously missing something as this prints the else branch on the form!

Thank you. Sorry for being a meatball! :--)

<table

String remoteAddr = request.getRemoteAddr();
ReCaptchaImpl reCaptcha = new ReCaptchaImpl();
reCaptcha.setPrivateKey("xxxxxx");

String challenge = request.getParameter("recaptcha_challenge_field");
String uresponse = request.getParameter("recaptcha_response_field");
reCaptchaResponse = reCaptcha.checkAnswer(remoteAddr, challenge, uresponse);

if (reCaptchaResponse.isValid()) {
out.print("Answer was entered correctly!");
<tr>
<td align="left" valign="top"><p>
<a href="mailtoperandi@capital.net">
<input type="submit" name="Submit" value="Submit">
</a>

</p>

}
else
out.print("Answer is wrong");

</tr>
</table>

This is the JavaScript forum. Java and Javascript are entirely different programming languages, in spite of the confusingly similar names. Rather like Austria and Australia! Ask a mod to move this thread to the right forum.

BTW, when posting here please help us to help you by making it easier to copy, test and debug your scripts by following the posting guidelines and wrapping your code in CODE tags. It should be obvious why this is necessary. This means use the octothorpe or # button on the toolbar. You can (and should) edit your previous post.

mailto: is obsolete. The trouble with using this long-obsolete method (mailto) to send form results is its unpredictability. The method it is highly dependent on the browser in use and the email client in use (some people have only Yahoo, Gmail or Hotmail). In particular, your visitor must have Outlook or Outlook Express or Windows Live Mail as the default client for this to work correctly. Even if your visitor is using Internet Explorer, but the default mail client is different (e.g. Eudora or Thunderbird), your mailto form will not work. With all of the browser troubles, you're likely to lose about half of your users' messages. Most of the email clients that can successfully send a mail will prompt the user with a somewhat threatening security dialog prior to sending - this can scare many users from continuing. Other users will not wish to reveal their email address. Also, what about people with Javascript disabled?
