[Javascript] Page loaded

[Peter Brunone]

	I could, but currently the chat content is held in a single
Application variable, which was the simplest way to go at the time (I
threw the basic framework together on an idle Tuesday afternoon several
years ago).  I have plans to rewrite it for ASP.NET, perhaps using
webservice behaviors or a hidden frame approach, although I might just
keep building on PortaChat 1.x with the hidden frame approach for a
while... plenty of ideas for upgrades, assuming I ever get the time :)

That chat room is great Peter, I tried a few years ago something similar
but ran out of time.....and energy !

The big problem I assume is how you alert other users there is a new
message, which I guess requires a call to the server to check the
application variables holding the dialog.

Could you not use a hidden frame so as to just get the new message,
rather than reloading all the messages?

Andrew,

Have you considered the META REFRESH tag for the hidden frame, which
would then populate a hidden field in the visible page?  I have a chat
application ( http://aspalliance.com/peterbrunone ) that makes copious
use of the refresh header and never sets off the blinking taskbar
button.
