in thread A new chatterbox flavour

I had a hard time making the chat buffer fill the window and have scrollbars on it when the content grows, so I just made it a fixed size. Change the 480px in the CSS if you need something smaller for now.

Thanks for the compliments and feedback. :-)

    Yeah, that's a pain. I did it for the Krang website for an iframe. Here's how: 

    function reSize() {
    var iframe = document.getElementById("ifrm");
    if (window.innerHeight) {
      // Netscape compatible
      iframe.height = window.innerHeight - 150;
    } else if( document.documentElement &&
               document.documentElement.clientHeight ) {
       //IE 6+ in 'standards compliant mode'
       iframe.height = document.documentElement.clientHeight - 150;
    } else if( document.body && ocument.body.clientHeight ) {
       //IE 4 compatible
       iframe.height = document.body.clientHeight - 150;
    }
}

    I called that function like this: 

    <body onload="reSize()" onresize="reSize()">

    I don't remember where I got this voodoo from but I sure as heck didn't come up with it myself!
