in the following hack...
I figured this one out, and in case anyone is interested, here's what I
did:
Change this line in chat.cgi:
for ($x = $high_message; $x >= $msg_to_read; $x--) {
To this:
for ($x = $msg_to_read; $x <= $high_message; $x++) {
After making this change, all new messages will now appear at the
bottom. The
only trouble is that you have to manually scroll down to the bottom of
the page
to view them.
To have the browser automatically jump down to the bottom of the page,
you need
to add some javascript (and if someone thinks of a better way, please
let me
know!).
Within chat-html.pl, change the body tag to include a javascript call
(the
<BODY> tag in the sub PrintChatScreen, about half-way through the
script):
Then, within the <HEAD> element of this same sub, add this
javascript code:
function GoBot() {
self.scrollTo(0,5000);
}
Depending on the #number of messages you have displayed at any one given
time, you
may need to increase the 5000 value to something higher.
I've tested this in NN6.1 and IE6, and it seems to work fine.
