You're going to need a controller that listens for a return in the text field (end of editing) and responds to the send button's action. When either occurs, you'll get the string from the text field and either a) recreate the entire HTML 'page' with all the messages in it or, b) more efficiently use the DOM structure of the page to insert a new div containing the latest message. In the background, of course your controller will probably want to maintain an array of all the messages as strings (or attributed strings) so you can do further processing (like saving to a history file, etc.). All of the subjects above are covered in the documentation though the DOM part is definitely not trivial given your relative "newness" to all this. Here's what I suggest: Go through all the introductory and basic Cocoa documentation, online tutorials, etc. and just get the basic application running with a standard text view. In other words, append each new message to the text view with no special drawing or formatting. Once you have the basics of your application working (which covers your basic learning curve for Cocoa), then tackle the hard part - manipulating a web view and a DOM structure to format the messages into a "pretty" view. Either way you look at it, the first part is necessary and you have to do that work anyway. By attacking the problem in that order, your experience will grow at just the right pace necessary to tackle the hard part later. Besides, function first, then form is *usually* the best way to go when designing a desktop application. As long as you follow the MVC design pattern (also thoroughly covered in the documentation), changing the form is easy. It's the function that's more difficult to change later. I hope this helps. -- I.S. _______________________________________________ Cocoa-dev mailing list (Cocoa-dev@lists.apple.com) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.
