[thelist] simple question (I hope): chat

[elkay]

1. I built an ASP based chat and indeed this was a problem. I wrote the code
so the latest message would be at the top rather than the bottom. IOW, the
conversation goes top down rather than the conventional chat scenario where
each new message is added to the bottom and the conversation goes bottom up.
This solved MY refresh issue. YMMV
2. In the body tag:
    onload="document.formname.textboxname.focus()"
