PHP Chat

[Grimmeh]

I've been writing a chat in PHP and thus far it's worked perfectly. When I got the basic chat running, I decided to test in in a few browsers. It works perfectly in Firefox, but unfortunately, in IE, when you type something in and hit enter, it refreshes the page without inserting what you said into the Database. It works if you click say after typing, but not if you hit enter. Thus far, this problem has only happened in IE.

Why?

If you need to see the chat to figure out why, I'll throw up a link.

Well yes seeing code or chat would be great at the moment the problem is a little vague.

i think this is your problem:

<FORM name="chat" method="POST" action="">
<font color=#000000>
<div class=chat>
<table bgcolor="#335566">
<tr>

...... some code ......

<tr>
<td>
<input type='text' class=text name="say" maxlength=150 width=900> .... some code
</form>
</td>
</tr>
</table>

your form end tag is in the wrong place.
IE probably sees that and does what i usually does to misplaced tags in a table, shoves it out of the table, to before the table started i think, so to IE you have </form><table><tr>.....

so your form does not encapsulate the table that has your data fields. (in ie anyway).

hope thats it! 🙂
