ForkTheCaptcha

Welcome to ForkTheCaptcha! 🎉
This repository is a simple web project made with HTML, CSS, and JavaScript where a CAPTCHA is displayed to verify user interaction. Feel free to explore, contribute, and fork it for Hacktoberfest 2024! 🚀

🎯 Project Overview

CAPTCHA (Completely Automated Public Turing test to tell Computers and Humans Apart) is a crucial feature used to prevent bots from abusing web forms and functionalities. This project is designed to demonstrate how to implement a basic CAPTCHA system using client-side technologies.

🌟 Features

• Dynamically generated CAPTCHA.
• Simple and clean UI.
• Designed for beginners to learn and contribute during Hacktoberfest 2024!

🛠️ Tech Stack

• HTML: Structure of the webpage.
• CSS: Styling and layout.
• JavaScript: CAPTCHA generation and validation logic.

🚀 Getting Started

1. Fork this repository: Click the "Fork" button on the top right corner of this page and create your own copy of the repository.

2. Clone your fork:

   git clone https://github.com/your-username/ForkTheCaptcha.git

3. Navigate into the project directory:

   cd ForkTheCaptcha

4. Open the index.html file in your browser to see the CAPTCHA in action.

📝 How It Works

1. CAPTCHA Generation: The JavaScript function generates a random sequence of characters (alphanumeric) displayed as an image.

2. User Input: The user is prompted to enter the characters from the CAPTCHA image into a text field.

3. Validation: If the user input matches the CAPTCHA, the form is successfully submitted. Otherwise, the user is asked to try again.
