Atawali

ajax tag wall - light

Proof of concept

This tag wall is a proof of concept of a light-weight chat system with database without window refresh.

It uses HTML, CSS, JavaScript, PHP, MySQL, in a ajaxy manner

Demo

Atawali BETA

Features

• nearly-instantaneous chat (<2s), no flickering nor frame reload
• UTF-8 character encoding
• erase function
• low overhead (only new messages are transfered, few connection reinits thanks to an hybrid service streaming approach)
• works (tested) with Firefox, Safari, Internet Explorer, and Opera; should run correctly in most javascript embeding browsers

Source

Soon

Known bugs

• A bug in the JavaScript function "sendIt()" function when called from the testsend([...]) function : modification of an element while handling one of its event - will be fixed, but not blocking.
• Under Opera (maybe also under other browsers), If you open another page and then go back to Atawali, the chat content does not remain up-to-date: you receive no message until you make a page reload (but you can still send messages).
• Enhancement : Message size is not limited, but input form field is.

It will be released under a GPL licence.
