Examples - Chatbox

This example shows how easily and quickly you can implement a chatbox using DynAjax engine.

A sample code:

---Place to display Results---
<div id="result"></div>

---Form to enter a message to send---
<div id="params">
    <input type="button" value="Send"
        onclick="dynajax.request('respfile: messageboard.php; resultloc: result;
        paramloc: params;')" />
    <input name="mymessage" type="text" value="" size="60" />
</div>

---For autorefresh---
<script type="text/javascript">
    dynajax.request('respfile: messageboard.php; resultloc: result; refreshtime: 3000;');
</script>

The chatbox in action

Notes:

The messageboard.php responsefile inserts the posted "mymessage" data to a database table, then writes the last 10 messages to the output. The result will be placed into the "result" div once it is acquired.
The "For autorefresh" code makes sure the messagebox is refreshed in each 3 seconds. See reference to learn more about this feature.
