Question

Using this code on the client side:

    <script src="//ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.6.2/jquery.js"></script>
    <script src="http://cdn.socket.io/stable/socket.io.js"></script>
    <script type="text/javascript">
        $(document).ready(function () {
                var socket = io.connect('http://localhost:8888');
});
</script>

Getting this error:

“io.connect is not a function”

Any suggestions?

Answer 1

The answer was I had to use my external ip address for the server this script is running on.
