Scott Bipolar (III) Inmate From: schillmania.com Insane since: Jul 2002	posted 09-28-2003 21:25 I'm not sure exactly what to call this thing, but I'm settling with "RPC-JS" for the time as it involves a form of Remote Procedure Call routines, and is a Javascript library. Long story short, it's a two-way networking/socket-style layer allowing simultaneous communication between multiple clients through a common Web interface (ie. a web page.) A bit of blabbering about what I found, and a demo (simple chat app) is viewable here.. http://www.schillmania.com I posted a question about this a while ago, under the thread "Streaming" JS?. Thanks to everyone for their prior input, it was helpful in finding methods to get the functionality I was looking for! Once I iron bugs out etc. and add more functionality to it, I intend to make it available for people to download and use in their projects. I don't know if there's much need out there with Flash etc. capable of socks-based communication, but you never know - scott [This message has been edited by Scott (edited 09-28-2003).]

I'm afraid the "inter-domain-problem" that occurs when accessing the content of an iframe will probably not be hackable. I've been puzzling with some alternatives(204-php pages etc) but still no solution . But hey, we'll figure some'ing .

Ideally the broadcast server could be just a simple daemon listening on the server side (perhaps running in PHP itself), but the way I've approached it (PHP proxy -> broadcast server) seems to work without issue.
