Hi there,
I really liked the idea of your chat. there are some bugs like private messaging is not working and so on. Could someone continue with Morpheus73´s chat because its very nice and handy.
Thanks, Nykke |

I've written my own chat application as well. I've used some techniques that I think you could improve your chat with.
For instance, my chat doesn't send the same data over and over, it only sends new data to the client, in a hidden (0 size) frame. They are written with javascript document.write commands, which force the browser to send the data to the top window.
So, the user experience is a bit better: -Top down as expected, rather than reversed -Quicker loads from less data -Buffer exists for the entire time the user is there
Try it out: http://www.getitcrunk.com/cog/index2.html
Keep in mind, the look and the commands are similar to a game the website is dedicated to(Everquest). The look isn't important. It's just that for my users, they all know how to use the chat since they've played the game.
It's not perfect(for instance, I have no idea how it works in Netscape), but I think you'll agree it has some nice ideas that might be useful in your chat.
Let me know if it would help, and I'll put together a zip file of the code.

They are right, I left out the .com. I updated the message above with the correct URL.

Dan, you code is ABSOLUTELY AWESOME and the best Chat I've seen so far. Could you please zip that up with instructions on how to install it? I could REALLY use it on my site!
Thanks!

Could be something to do with FrontPage inserting action="file:///C|/inetpub/wwwroot/Openmedia/Klient/defaultchat.asp" in your form post action

Yes, the problem probably is were you suggest. There's some more references to file:///C|/inetpub/wwwroot/Openmedia/Flash.... It seems that some files are missing in the zip. For instance there should be some flash functions -or?? Cheers / Tomas

Well, I've zipped it up, and put it here: http://www.getitcrunk.com/chat/chat.zip
Sorry, there are very little instructions or even comments in the code. I don't think you'll have much problem with it though. I just haven't prepared it for public use much. But if you have problems, feel free to contact me. I'm always open to emails.
The only important thing that you should know is the control.asp is in a hidden frame. If you have problems and you can't figure out why, that's the place to look. Errors on that page obviously don't show up. And since it's what sends all the messages to the top page, it's pretty important.

I downloaded the conquer chat and 3.0.2 and have it working with my snitz DB.
Anyone done anything to moderate this chat, basically I need to be able to kick users and that is all for now.
If you have any thing that will allow me to password protect some rooms that would be great.

What about global.asa? Does the chat need it? Almost no free hosting service (Brinkster, 7host...) support global.asa!
Regards
