i am trying to build a simple chat system but I’m not sure what needs to be done in order for when i submit my message, that message will update on a different computer browser.
Right now when i submit a message it gets stored in a database through an ajax call, in the same moment i display that message to in the chat.
any ideas?
thanks
You need to poll server and update with some interval, take a look at setInterval() function. Just update with fresh chat data every listener, should be enought for your case.
