using iframe for chat

06-24-2005, 00:00

I just made a 'chat server' chat.php and you tell it things and it just
adds them to a file chat.txt and echoes the file.

please no hacking!

This is the chat client so far.

<html>
<head>
<title>chat</title>
<script language="javascript">
function talk() {
document.getElementById("if1").src =
"http://www.ch3ss.com/chat.php?say=" + document.chat.say.value
document.chat.say.value = ""
}
</script>
</head>

<body>
<iframe id="if1">
</iframe>

<form name="chat" method="get">
<input type="text" name="say">
<font onclick="talk()"><b>SAY</b></font>
</form>

</body>
</html>

you could just manage to chat to someone as it is, paste it into a HTML
file and you can run it from your computer.

How can I get javascript to read the *response* in the iframe? If I
can do that I can grab the latest conversation instead of the whole
screen, and format the text, even interactive games.

you could have said HI! no matter I've taken the server down, don't
want people echoing escape characters on my server and getting up to no
good.
