HTML :
The provided code is an HTML login form with a captcha feature. It includes fields for username and password input, as well as a captcha input field. The captcha is a security measure to ensure that the user is a human and not a bot. It generates a random text that the user needs to enter correctly. The form also has a login button. The code includes external CSS and JavaScript files for styling and functionality.

CSS :
The provided CSS code is for styling the login form. It sets the font family to “Roboto” and applies a linear gradient background. The form is positioned in the center of the page using absolute positioning and transformed to be centered. The form has a dark background with padding and a box shadow. The labels and input fields are styled with appropriate margins, colors, and borders. The captcha section includes a preview area and an input field with a refresh button. The login button is styled with a blue background and white text.

JavaScript:
The provided JavaScript code is responsible for generating and validating the captcha in the login form. Here’s a breakdown of how it works:
- The code defines an array of font styles and initializes a variable
captchaValueto store the generated captcha value. - The
generateCaptcha()function generates a random value, converts it to base64, and truncates it to a length between 5 and 10 characters. The resulting value is stored incaptchaValue. - The
setCaptcha()function creates HTML elements for each character incaptchaValue. Each character is wrapped in a<span>element with a randomly rotated style and a randomly selected font from thefontsarray. The resulting HTML is inserted into the preview area of the captcha.
(function () {
const fonts = ["cursive", "sans-serif", "serif", "monospace"];
let captchaValue = "";
function generateCaptcha() {
let value = btoa(Math.random() * 1000000000);
value = value.substr(0, 5 + Math.random() * 5);
captchaValue = value;
}
function setCaptcha() {
let html = captchaValue
.split("")
.map((char) => {
const rotate = -20 + Math.trunc(Math.random() * 30);
const font = Math.trunc(Math.random() * fonts.length);
return `<span
style="
transform:rotate(${rotate}deg);
font-family:${fonts[font]}
"
>${char}</span>`;
})
.join("");
document.querySelector(".login-form .captcha .preview").innerHTML = html;
}
function initCaptcha() {
document
.querySelector(".login-form .captcha .captcha-refresh")
.addEventListener("click", function () {
generateCaptcha();
setCaptcha();
});
generateCaptcha();
setCaptcha();
}
initCaptcha();
document
.querySelector(".login-form #login-btn")
.addEventListener("click", function () {
let inputCaptchaValue = document.querySelector(
".login-form .captcha input"
).value;
if (inputCaptchaValue === captchaValue) {
swal("", "Logging In!", "success");
} else {
swal("Invalid captcha");
}
});
