Hi guys,
I've designed a chat window for a chat application using tradutional
tables and dirty code because I haven't been able to do it using pure
CSS. Do you think this would have been possible to create it using 100%
tableless code and have it to adapt according to the window dimentions? http://www.auriance.com/docs/interaction/
Thanks, 9  2338

Yes, it can be done reasonably easily.

Thanks. How can you strech the layout all the way down?

Try this. http://www.jackpot.uk.net/tests/chat.html
Works in perfectly in Opera and Firefox. There's some foolishness with
the vertical scrollbar in IE6, which caan probably be eliminated with
the help of Google and some patience. Opera and Firefox are in standards
mode, IE6 is in quirks mode.
Of course this is a static page; there's no application behind it to
actually do your chat.

Thank you very much jack...
I see... This can't be done in XHTML, can it?

Why not? That code is in essence equivalent to XHTML code.
On the other hand, why would you want to use XHTML? For the time being,
that will only cause you headaches, mainly due to deficiencies in the
ability of Microsoft browsers to consume properly-served XML.

The XML declaration throws IE6 into quirks mode, which (AFAIK) is the
only mode in which you can get to set the height of a <div> to the
height of the window short of using Javascript. It's ignored by other
browsers, which duly render in standards mode.
Like I said, it works. Perhaps I should have added: "...after a fashion".
Hey, I'm no CSS expert; I'm here to learn. If there are better ways of
doing this, I'd love to see how. I just spent 20 minutes or so trying to
solve the OP's question, partly as an exercise for myself; I put up the
results to show it was possible, which the OP seemed to believe it was not.

Including XML-ish stuff seems overkill. Can't you just use a simple
<!-- comment --> before the DOCTYPE for IE?

I think the XML declaration was left there from a copy-and-paste
exercise; but deleting it screwed-up IE, and that's the reason it
screwed it up. My remark makes it look as if I did that by design, which
I don't think was the case.
Hey, it's not examplary code, by any means - it was thrown together to
prove that something is possible, not to demonstrate the correct way of
doing it. I'd rather leave that to someone who actually knows.

I am trying to create a very simple chat program using UDP through a web

I don't think it's a problem with ElementTree. Perhaps you are writing the
same (global) configuration file from several threads at the same time?
You may need some locking mechanism in that case.
