Re: ajax question

Good evening,
How you will address these two issues will depend on how the backend of your system is designed.
I would suggest that when the Ajax function requests the new chat messages that they be received in XML format and be added to a list. You can specify that only recent messages are sent to the browser through ajax and you can then remove older messages from the list in the browser.
As for channeling messages to the correct room / private recipient you will need to have some functionality designed in the back end to register users against channels or other users and when new messages are requested a check is performed to determine which messages to return to the browser.

Hello list,
I've got a quick question.
I have the basic framework for a chat system in ajax, but I have two questions regarding it. First, I need a way to establish a session between one user and another, or multiple users so that everyone doesn't see everyone else's chat messages. Also, I need a way to know what each person hasn't received, or just update the page with the whole log rather than having repetitions. 
Ideas would be great.

Thanks,
