Much nicer. theorbtwo++ & OeufMayo++.

One minor niggle. Is there any reason that the edit field couldn't be made to fill the header bar? This might help me (and a few others) to avoid some of those annoying typos because I can't see everything that I've typed.

Then the button could have the text "Talk to" with the effect that the whole thing would read "Talk to Perl Monks" :^).

• Links in the Chat Messages panel now open in new windows (Patch submitted by theorbtwo.)
• Links in the Other Users panel now open in new browser windows (patch submitted by theorbtwo.)

But links in the /msg frame do not -- they still open in the frame. Can we fix this one as well?

Good work, guys. Thanks!
Matt

Update: It seems that the code has been patched with a base tag specifying a target of _new. This is good, but now the form for the submit button needs a target specified as _self.

This appears to have been fixed... with as a side effect that form submission also opens in a new window! I'm sure it's the global target "_new" in the "base" tag that makes that happen. Adding a target attribute "_self" to the form tag, should do the trick.

This is the refresh meta tag as it is now:

 <meta http-equiv="refresh" content="12; url='/index.pl?displaytype=ra
+w&node_id=3200'" />

According to several tutorials I found, one shouldn't put those single quotes around the URL, for example Webmonkey and indiana.edu.

So this tag should really look like:

 <meta http-equiv="refresh" content="12; url=/index.pl?displaytype=raw
+&node_id=3200" />

At least merlyn's browser falls over the presence of that opening single quote.

So this tag should really look like:

 <meta http-equiv="refresh" content="12; url=/index.pl?displaytype=raw
+&node_id=3200" />

No, it should really be:

 <meta http-equiv="refresh" content="12; url=/index.pl?displaytype=raw
+&amp;node_id=3200" />

You forgot the HTML escaping step. Just like most of Everything2 does, last time I looked. And it's all broken.

Discussion of this issue went on for a while, so I'll just sum it up here:

Nobody was able to find anything constituting anything like a W3C standard governing the content of content attributes of meta refresh tags. bart is correct in pointing out, (AFAIK) that no browser appears to fail if the single quotes around the URL "sub-attribute" are omitted, so if the darn things are going to be used and not proper HTTP headers, well, then it's best to omit the quotes (although I found examples containing quotes on a site owned by the same miscreants that appear to have invented this mess.

W/ most browsers, the "sub-attribute" is only needed if the refresh tag is one of those cheesy redirects (my technical term of choice). Refreshing the same page needs only a time.

For those of you who are interested, this was the closest thing I could find to a "reference" on the subject. Yes, not only did they invent <blink>, this, too is their fault =)

If not P, what? Q maybe?

This has been fixed. Fullpage Chat should now work on pretty much all browsers.

Makeshifts last the longest.

For the record, although I've already mentioned this in the chatterbox, links has the same problem.
