simple chat

I developd a simple chat, browser relaod every X secconds and dsiplays messages saved on a database.

I have problm with some pcs/browsers sometime the page cant reloan and then chat is terminated, so I wonder if there is a better way to reaload and check for new messages, I see messenger.providesupport.com web chat uses somethings else, anyone has a recomendation here?

The simplest way to do it is the way you did it. It shouldn't terminate the chat if you can't reach the server though, try building in some error checks so that it doesn't die if anything fails ( try / catch ).

You could also try something like "Comit", but that's a lot harder to use.

Thanks WASSA , well, youre right, chat keeps going . What I meant is that that particular browser/user get a not found error on the chat window, so, it look like its terminated , if he reloads the page chat goes on. I just wat to avoid that. Whats Comit ?
