turkman Posted January 19, 2011 Share Posted January 19, 2011 After i couldnt get my last example to work, someone recommended i try and use jquery as it auto sorts out all i.e bugs. So i looked around and managed to piece together some code. In the example below #chatmsg is the input box #chatwindow is the div id where i want the output to go. Here is the problem. in the function update ... if i set the return data to #chatmsg .. it works and populates the input box with the data from the database every 1000 milliseconds. However if i change that to #chatwindow nothing happens. I have no idea why this happens. Also i have no idea why its causing the page to display funny. link here: http://www.imgboard.co.uk/chat-with-coon/chat.html <html> <head> <title>Coon Chat V 1.0</title> <style type="text/css"> body { padding-left:40px; background:#E3EDF5; font-family:arial;} input, textarea { font-family: arial; color:white; background:#57767F; font-size: 11pt; line-height: 25px } #content { width:1000px; text-align:left; } #chatwindow { border:1px solid #E8E8E8; padding:4px; background:#FFFFFF; color:#426A8A; width:1000px; margin: auto; height:auto; font-family:arial;line-height: 25px; font-size: 11pt; } #chatnick { color: black; background:#FFFFFF; } #chatmsg { color: black; background:#FFFFFF; } #button { background:#FFFFFF;} #cent{margin: auto; width 1000px;} #info { text-align:left; padding-left:0px; font-family:arial; } #info td { font-size:12px; padding-right:10px; color:#DFDFDF; } #info .small { font-size:12px; padding-left:10px; padding-right:0px;} #info a { text-decoration:underline; color:#426A8A; font-size: 9pt; } #info a:hover { text-decoration:underline; color:#426A8A;} .ai {font-size: 7pt; color: green; font-style: italic;} .actiontaken font-size: 9pt; color: red;} h3 {color: Orange; text-align: center;} .dat {color: grey; font-size: 8pt; padding-left: 10px;} .name {color: Orange; font-size: 11pt; padding-left: 5px; padding-top: 3px; padding-bottom: 3px; } .name a {color: black; color: black; text-decoration: underline;} #wrapper {width: 1200px; margin: auto; } </style> </head> <body> <div id = 'wrapper'> <div id="info"> Welcome to secret-ninja-coon -chat. <a href = 'http://www.imgboard.co.uk'>Return to the forum.<a> </div> <div id="content"> <div id="chatwindow"> </div> <!-- <textarea id="chatwindow" rows="19" cols="95" readonly></textarea><br> --> <div id = "cent"> <input id="chatnick" type="text" size="9" maxlength="9" > <input id="chatmsg" type="text" size="100" maxlength="150" onkeyup="keyup(event.keyCode);"> <input type="button" id = "button" value="Post" onclick="submit_msg()";><br><br></div> <br> </div> </div> </body> </html> <script type="text/javascript" src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.4.4/jquery.min.js"></script> <script type="text/javascript"> function cite(num){ var reply_cite = num ; document.getElementById('chatmsg').value += reply_cite; } function update() { $.post("x.php", {}, function(data){ $("#chatwindow").val(data);}); setTimeout('update()', 1000); } $(document).ready( function() { update(); $("#button").click( function() { $.post("x.php", { m: $("#chatmsg").val()}, function(data){ $("#chatwindow").val(data); $("#chatmsg").val(""); } ); } ); }); </script> </script> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

turkman Posted January 20, 2011 Author Share Posted January 20, 2011 I got it sorted. The only problem was if i wanted to display the returned data in a div i had to use .html() instead of .val() Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
