Adam Posted November 5, 2008 Share Posted November 5, 2008 You'd probably need to use a timed event using javascript's setInteval() function. Then you could setup your own JS function to check if there are any new messages sent from clients, and obviouslly if so display a new popup window. For something like this you'll need to look into 'AJAX' as JS alone cannot run any scripts from the server; which you'll need to do to check for new chats, send / receive messages, etc. I'd suggest reading a few tutorials so you understand how AJAX works and what it can do for your web applications - then I think you'll have a much better idea of what you need to do... http://www.google.co.uk/search?q=ajax+tutorial Adam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
