Shoutbox

Just to make it more complete, you should add buttons of some sort which enable disable certain features (e.g: the toasts, quick texts, enlarge the comments box, etc) as not everyone will like all those features (personally, the toasts would be disabled for myself).

As well, I notice that for some reason your script leaves a bunch of empty space at the bottom, that is quite unnecessary and messes with everything Turns out it's not your script, disregard that

Btw,

I believe you mean 0.3.2

Hmmm, users who use the /me command don't get the drop-down menu.

I haven't been around, this week, so forgive me if someone had already pointed that out.

By the way, you're doing a great job!

installed it and seems to be running smoothly, the only thing is the notification of when someone comes in to the shoutbox comes up when someone refreshes the shoutbox, so maybe a 2minute delay so if they go off for 2 minutes or more it comes up, any lower it doesnt..?

Nice script, well done

Some users of your script have noticed strange character encoding problems. For example, the ¬ character doesn't work right. Here are a few screenshots...

I think the XMLHttpRequest is to blame. Do you have any ideas for how to fix this?

Update: I added charset=iso-8859-1 to the HTTP headers, and that seems to help, at least with viewing messages. There may still be issues with sending messages, but I haven't tested that.

currently, none of the commands from -dt-'s shoutboxcc.user.js are working with your script either

attached below for convenience, seeing as though -dt-'s site is down

OK, I will try to do it.

You are right. You know that XMLHttpRequest tries to be UTF-8.
Many times it doesn't work on a non-UTF8 sites.

I'm pretty sure that there must be some workarounds.. I will look at it.

This code from my script kicks the -dt-'s one away.
From -dt-'s code, I also pretty sure that there must be
some workarounds, because we hook the function at
different places.

OK, finished!

And some of the bugs are fixed..

Added: An option to disable XMLHttpRequest sending to make -dt-'s script work.

Do you mind if I try and edit the script to make it work perfectly with Opera ? I'll be doing it tomorrow though. I'll release the script if i succeed . I know you'll allow, but still wanted to ask.

Sure! And thanks for asking...
