The onClick event on the referesh button for the Captcha won’t work when I click it, but this button works well when I open the Inspect mode in Chrome and click it, refreshing the captcha as expected. Here is my HTML code :

Here is a screenshot of my UI :
What could be the problem in my case ?

Answer
The issue was due to Chrome and Firefox loading the captcha from Cache in the same tab, even if response header Cache-Control was set to no-cache. The solution was to add a random string parameter to the request, this forces Chrome to reload the captcha as it will see each time a new URL for the src attribute of the image. Something like this :
function captchaReload() { let randomString = (Math.random() + 1).toString(36).substring(7); let imageSource = 'Captcha.jpg'+ '?random=' + randomString; document.getElementById('imageCaptcha').src=imageSource; }
