    Chat Refresh

    I've made a small chat page for a website that I made as a hobby...

    I didn't want to use Java, as alot of users can't/don't know how to download
    and install this. I know it's easy, people. But some people just don't get
    it.

    I didn't want to use flash, because ... I have no idea how.

    And it has to be a web page based chat, so that anone who can browse, can
    use this chat. (Firewalls, etc)

    So, I came up with a frame based html page, using php pages, and a small bit
    of javascript.

    As it's a free site, I'm hoping people can give me tips and advice how to
    make it a bit better..

    The address is http://www.myschoolmates.com/chat/

    Things I'l like to do is, make th refresh better. Some people on modems are
    too slow, and struggle to see the chat messages page.

    Can I get rid of the clicking sound on the client PC's, or is that part of
    Internet Explorer?

    I'd like to make the typing line disabled when clicked. But I can't seem to
    do that. What do I need to do?

    Thanks guys!

      I just discovered the marvellous, wonderous XMLHTTPRequest object that's
      available in IE and Mozilla. You might love it too =) Check it out at
      www.jibbering.com.

      Actually, it's part of Windows' sound schemes. I don't think you can disable
      it, but I'm not 100% sure...

      If you go with the XMLHTTPRequest thing it'll come naturally, otherwise,
      you'll need to call a function instead of instantly submit when it's
      clicked. This function could submit (document.typer .submit()), then clear
      the field (document.typer .txtMessage.val ue="").

      Cheers,
      Daniel.
