Introduction
The =Uize.Widget.Captcha= class encapsulates the logic required to display and use a captcha.
*DEVELOPERS:* `Tim Carter`, original code contributed by `Zazzle Inc.`
An Abstract Class
The =Uize.Widget.Captcha= class, like its superclass =Uize.Widget= is primarily an abstract class that provides a standardized interface for the subclasses, which contain the majority of the implementation logic. Because there is no generalized API for the different captcha implementations available (reCaptcha, EZ-Gimpy, etc.), the subclasses must do most of the work to set up the UI, validate user input, and display any messages to the user.

return _superclass.subclass ({
instanceMethods:{
initializeCaptcha:function () {
/*?
Instance Methods
initializeCaptcha
Loads and processes any data needed in order to display the captcha. This could include sourcing in external JS scripts, creating an external JS object, inserting the UI, etc. This is an empty method in =Uize.Widget.Captcha= and should be overridden by any subclasses.
SYNTAX
..............................
myWidget.initializeCaptcha ();

},
validate:function ( _params ) {
return this._isValid = false
/*?
Instance Methods
validate
Validates the user response to the captcha.
SYNTAX
..............................
myWidget.validate ( _params );
..............................
PARAMS
...................................................................................
{
callback:callbackFUNC // a callback function once validation is complete.
}
...................................................................................
NOTES
No arguments are passed to the callback function. One can get the results of the validation by querying the =isValid= property.

stateProperties:{
_isValid:{
name:'isValid',
value:false
/*?
State properties
isValid
A boolean indicating whether or not the user has correctly solved the captcha challenge. Initially set to false as solving a captcha requires input from the user.
*/
},
_value:'value'
/*?
State properties
value
An object representing the user response to the captcha's challenge. While generally a string (see reCaptcha's implementation), it can also represent other values, such as an option in a dropdown (ESP-PIX, http://server251.theory.cs.cmu.edu/cgi-bin/esp-pix/esp-pix).
