Hi,

I've played with it a little. I got fed up with the refresh and just
removed it. Another problem with having a refresh that is really annoying
to a user is to have the "refresh" occur while you are typing an entry thus
loosing your typed text. If you've typed a lot this is truely
distressing... so I just removed the refresh. Someone can always just
submit a blank entry and get a manual refresh...

There seems to be another problem with "duplicate" submissions after a
"freeze up" of the page. This presents itself when a user clicks on the
button and nothing seems to happen until the mouse is moved on the server
or the user clicks the button a second time. If the button was pressed two
times the request responds quickly but two entries have been made as a
result of the two button presses. There is something going on that I've not
had the time or energy to figure out...

I also changed the main server loops delay down to the minimum time to
improve the server response times.

Good luck with it.

All the best,


Peter William Lount

Hi all!

Has anyone here done anything to improve the chat that comes with the 
pluggable web server?  I've done a little tinkering to improve the space 
utilization.

Also, whenever the automatic refresh occurs the client browser (IE4) 
displays the message "Repost Form Data?".  How can I fix this?

If I manage to consolidate any substantial improvement, I'll resubmit it to

the community.

Thanks,

Carl
