AJAX Chat MOD 2.0.0 Beta8 in Portal 3 side block: need Help
Posted: 5. August 2009 17:34
Hello everyone,
I have phpBB v3.0.4 with ProSilver and Portal3 v1.0.3 installed. I have installed the AJAX Chat MOD 2.0.0 Beta8 from Handyman and it works great.
I have downloaded the center block for the Portal from your site and it works great too. Thak you for your site: great source of info and Mods !!!
Now, having gone through all the threads to find a side block for Portal3, I have not found anything to my liking (sorry my high school German is pretty rough so I couldn't read all posts in German
), so I decided to go ahead and to modify the central block one to make it into a side block si I could keep the style and look of it.
I think I have nailed it in the html file but I have one last issue that I can not figure out, despite mucking around with the html file for more than one day. :scratch: Getting on my nerves now...
As you can see, when I type the message, and and press [ENTER], I get the post totally screwed up (left image), but as soon as I refresh my page (F5 in IE), it shows normally (right image).
I thought that had to do with the formating of the html file before and after the javascript block in the middle of the html file. So I made the code the same inbetween both <!-- BEGIN chatrow --> and <!-- BEGIN whoisrow --> sections... but no change.
I am at a loss right now and I am not sure what I am missing. The soilution may be in the CCS modules, but I am a newbie at this. Your assistance would be greatly appreciated, so when this works fine I can post the code on the forum for everyone to use. I apologize in advance if I have missed the solution (probably one is available in a German thread), but I have been through all the posts and have tried all html files offered on the thread, but you never know, I could have missed the one...
Here is my chat_mini.html :
