Try to inject image on chat Infection and it is working fine. Not sure if you want to do that

Say Med, maybe it’s because that page is nauseating to look at?

ilkin aka ir2:

Duly noted re: pushlets, etc. However, it’s more complicated and brittle that way..

The way the backend mechanism was constructed, the app can handle the polling fine (as it’s very easy to scale horizontally.)

oh what a tiring code for server! getting all posts at every 5 seconds is very tiring stuff for a server. this kind of applications must send active text messages with alive-connection thru client. i coded an instant messenger to my site with alive-connection stuff anyl bad thing about this is classic asp wont let you open a alive-connection unless you made a loop. and a loop exhausting one (: (checking messages in miliseconds whoa!)

so, use alive-connection and write data to invisible iframe. call window.parent.writefunction() in iframe for new messages.

i hope u understand my technique guys. sorry about my non-fluent english too (:

Thanks a lot for the post.. any chance we could bump the Ajaxian container iframe up to 420px height?

Cheers,

Eddie

The Event.onDOMReady work was something I worked on but that was definitely derived from a lot of other work on the web and it’s use in the core.js file above was solely Eddies doing…

Eddie also is responsible for the core.js file, I may have helped a little in debugging or designing but he’s the implementor and should get the credit.

I didn’t write this Eddie wrote this.

Yes, no more demos in main page. Is very slow. :)

Unfortunately, this highlights why including javascript from third-party domains etc. can be troublesome for site performance (browser waits for a timeout before resuming page render, and so on.)

An alternate approach could be using script to insert or load this content on or after domReady/window.onload(). At the least, the initial site render would not be affected.

Dion, no more live demos on the main page. They often break your site.

@Stephan
Yeah I noticed that too, I installed Adblock Plus just to block content from the domain so I could view Ajaxian.

By: Stephan

chatinfection.com seems to be down. therefore ajaxian takes 3.24 minutes to be completely displayed (thanks firebug!). sucks! :)
