January 22, 200719 yr I need help coding a shout box. Does anyone know how to do it? I know how to do the meta refresh thing and I know how to put the actual shoutbox in a different window so you don't have to type really fast, but I can't figure out how to make the words appear in the shoutbox. Does anyone know how? If you need more detail, feel free to PM me in game or in Forum. Garath My favorite Latin to Englisth translation.Equus in via est.MeaningThere is a horse in the street.:P

January 22, 200719 yr Why bother then there's about a million open source ones already made. Mercifull <3 Suzi "We don't want players to be able to buy their way to success in RuneScape.

January 22, 200719 yr Why bother then there's about a million open source ones already made. Some people prefer to make thier own, its far more satisfying than leaching another persons idea.

Yep. Plus I can't find a free one that gives me the control I want. My favorite Latin to Englisth translation.Equus in via est.MeaningThere is a horse in the street.:P
January 22, 200719 yr Find an open source one and rip it apart and do what you will with it. That's the beauty of open source. If you cant find one with the features you need add them yourself to the base of one already made Mercifull <3 Suzi "We don't want players to be able to buy their way to success in RuneScape.

January 22, 200719 yr if you haven't already learn php and sql server side scripting is required to make a shoutbox ASP is another option but it cost money Edit: here is html and css and javascript, those should be learned before php/mysql
January 22, 200719 yr Author if you don't already learn php and sql I need html though My favorite Latin to Englisth translation.Equus in via est.MeaningThere is a horse in the street.:P
January 22, 200719 yr You can't code a shoutbox in HTML alone as HTML can't write to files/databases and hence can't store information input by visitors. You'll need a PHP (or Perl/ASP/etc.) host if you want to code your own shoutbox. Also note that PHP and HTML are not mutually exclusive. I'd recommend just using a shoutbox from another website.
