Re: Simple Game Server -- request for help

As you noticed, webservers are really bad at sending data to clients without being prompted first. If you are free to use your own computer as server, i suggest doing it like chatrev, having a server stack that is publicly available on the internet. That way is the easiest way to avoid the stat

Button Labels With icons

Is there any way to center the label of a button that has an Icon? Or is the label always pushed to the bottom by the icon? I would like to avoid having to create custom images for each button just to change the text of the button that shows up in the center. Is this possible? Thanks Todd To

Unicode and revBrowser: "selected" property and callback messages

Mike's brilliant suggestion is to use browserBeforeNavigate() for passing back a string to the stack via the URL parameter.Very smart and original, especially since that can be done on dblclick--an event that otherwise cannot be captured by revBrowser. That doesn't resolve the Unicode problem, but

Re: Unicode and revBrowser: "selected" property and callback messages

Just had another thought. I think in another thread, someone said that manually copying and then pasting unicode into a field works, perhaps javascript can be used to copy the clicked word to the clipboard and it can be used from there? IE, direct access to the clipboarddata["text"].. On Sun, May

Re: Simple Game Server -- request for help

Check out Chatrev and chatrev server. I think it uses sockets and it's own protocol. I don't think polling is used - everything is message based. http://bjoernke.com/index.irev?target=chatrev at any rate BvG is your man for this sort of project, he is quite active on this list and will be alon

Yeah, can get around it easy by using a url-less link. Just #theword instead of http://fullurl.com/mypage.html#theword I really have zero idea what to do about the unicode stuff, but if you can figure out how to make it work when grabbing the text with revbrowserget(sbrowserId,"selecterd") then I

Great, I'll try that, too, Mike--thanks. I couldn't have thought of it, but of course passing parameters in the URL is the most natural thing to do... In my case there's no URL, because I load these "Web pages" locally by assigning the HTML string from the database to the revBrowser's "htmltext" pr

RE: Unicode and revBrowser: "selected" property and callback messages

Thanks, Mike. Briefly: when a JavaScript function returns a Russian string to revBrowserCallScript(), the Unicode characters in it are replaced with question marks, just like they are in the "selected" property of the revBrowser instance. In more detail: I know and understand what you say about t

Re: Unicode and revBrowser: "selected" property and callback messages

Actually, just had a different thought. May have seen this in the forums or here before, so not sure its my idea, but.. There is a callback browserBeforeNavigate. If you set your javascript to try and navigate to a jump link URL on doubleclick of a word, then it will be sent to browserBeforeNaviga

Can't help with the unicode part, but if you turn on advanced messages in revbrowser, you can catch clicks. revbrowserset sBrowserId,"messages",true From the dictionary: *Note: The "advanced" callback messages are: browserClick, browserOut and browserOver. These messages are only sent when the "me
