Streamed chat seems to cause an issue with the javascript locking of the send message field.
I am not really up to speed with javascript, but it seems to be related to this from
mod/chat/gui_header_js/insert.php:
<code>
if ($chatuser->version == 'header_js') {
/// force msg referesh ASAP
echo '<script type="text/javascript">parent.jsupdate.location.href = parent.jsupdate.document.ancho|rs[0].href;parent.input.enableForm();</script>';
}
</code>
I changed this to:
<code>
if ($chatuser->version == 'header_js') {
/// force msg referesh ASAP
echo '<script type="text/javascript">parent.input.enableForm();</script>';
}
</code>
So it unlocks the form, (but doesn't update the mesage screen - I don't know enough js to work out why it wasn't workign correctly).
If it makes you feel any better, you're not alone. I've had this issue too. I was unable to correct it (I'm not a Javascript person either). If anyone knows if it's just a compatibility, I'd be curious to know.
Do you have IIS6 and Windows Server 2003? I'm wondering about IIS6 and it's ability to handle stream requests.
