Chat Smartlet

This Smartlet demonstrates a simple chat server using nothing more than a bit of SXML and jQuery/Scf scripting.

The script used to scroll new chat lines into view has a small drawback in long html pages: it uses the DOM scrollIntoView() method. This method will however scroll the entire page, not only the chat DIV.

Update the script code and change the 2 lines having 'scrollIntoView' to the single line:

div.animate({scrollTop: div[0].scrollHeight},500);

This will fix the problem and make the chatbox even cooler to look at.

Is this a single session chat room? By that I mean does every visitor join the same session or can you make seperate sessions for some visitors?

No, each Smartlet instance has its own session, based on the Smartlet id, so you can in fact start as many chat rooms as you like.
