After browsing through -dt-'s random stuff server, I think I have found it. -dt- has a lot of techniques I haven't know.
I'll try to learn more techniques.

That's an old version (24-Jan-2006). Here's a copy from a month ago: http://shoutbox.menthix.net/crap/shoutboxbetterrefresh.user.js

I'm not sure if -dt- has updated it since then...

Before it reloads, it save the message field's value, selection position, and restore it after the reload has finished. I should match things better.

i guess my problem is something like wdz's .... it's not just that it disrupts my typing in the message box, it "steals" the focus every time the shouts refreshes. i mean say i'm typing something in the search bar in ff, the cursor goes back to the message box at each refresh while i'm typing.

is it possible to do something that it doesn't steal focus when i'm typing outside of the message box... but have the shoutbox page open?

svn.thedt.net > * > random.thedt.net

hmm i think that is that latest DZ

The code updated to 0.2.0 0.2.1! - See the first post for details.

0.2.1 includes some bugfix. Please redownload if you are using 0.1.2 or 0.2.0!

After digging through the XUL Planet, I found new way to parse for HTML, which works great.

It's called something like createContextualFragment.
That makes it possible to detect the users that goes out or comes in.

And the new feature is it uses XMLHttpRequest to send the message also!

You have a typo: It shouldn't be "user has exit the shoutbox" but "user has left the shoutbow"

shoutbox*

* Kenji runs

dt's works fine for me... if i could use them both, i would. But your one stops dt's from working properly...

Could someone correct me if I'm wrong but doesn't the who's online section of the shoutbox rely on a timer before the person's name disappears which means that the toast style message could be up to 15 minutes slow?  I would like to know that I'm wrong.

Anyway, I might give this a try later on because dt's script has some problems with the edit, theme and help pages atm with the refresh (I wouldn't mind the delete links script to work either ).

Anyway, this might make dt try a little harder, still quite nice to see someone giving it a go

Can you give me the link to -dt-'s script so I can detect what makes -dt-'s to stop working.

It's up to the forum system. You'll have to wait for some staff to answer.

simple, mine hooks a bunch of things like the sbRefresh function and can disable/enable its self depending on if the refresh is enabled

    3) The refresh shouldn't touch the message field at all, it should just replace the shouts and the users online. I noticed that the refresh can interrupt my typing. (Smilie)


Another strange problem.
Before it reloads, it save the message field's value, selection position, and restore it after the reload has finished. I should match things better.

wow thats messy , why dont you use xpaths to find the table and just replace the shout table + online users


mine creates an iframe, forces it to load the shoutbox (with protections against infinite loops) then once the iframe has fully rendered it uses an xpath to find the table + online users and copies the node from the iframe document to main one.

less jumpyness and a more natural look : >
