Hi, got a question, a while ago on a website I forgot the URL from, I saw this kind of chat/message thing, the website was in ASP, that I know...

A person could enter a message in a textbox, and it would send that message to a textarea to where it's visible to everyone. Does anyone know what I mean and does anyone has the script for this perhaps?

Help me out please.. :)

Kinda wanted the Textchat one, can't find a download for that on that website, even after I subscribed.

One other thing, what does this mean:

Microsoft VBScript compilation error '800a03ea'

Got this on all ASP scripts I tried on my website.

Are you using Chilisoft ASP? It doesn't support regular expressions, so you'll have to find another way to validate that stuff...

helpdesk of my server provider said that I could just upload these ASP scripts and it'll work unlike CGI, and usually I did small CGI scripts.. I'm already surprised that I didn't had to add a Path or anything in ASP. it's new to me... so....

Anyways, Textchat gave me this in both frames.

Topframe:

Microsoft VBScript runtime error '800a0005'

Invalid procedure call or argument: 'Mid'

/chat/TextChat/chatwindow.asp, line 11


Bottomframe:

Microsoft VBScript compilation error '800a03ea'

Syntax error

/chat/TextChat/update.asp, line 36

Set tiRegEx = New RegExp
--------------^

Since it's giving errors on the regex's, like I said, you'll have to use something else because it sounds like you're using ChiliSoft ASP (which doesn't support regular expressions, and that's really a shame)... as for Mid() giving you an error, you'll need to change that path to the text file to one that's appropriate for your server.... i.e.:

txtfile = Server.MapPath("textareachat.txt")

or whatever.

ChiliSoft it is yes... dang... oh well.. that story ends also then.. would've saved me some trouble if they would've said so.

Thanx for the help d00d and sorry if I wasted your time. :(

You should still be able to use it... just take out the regex's and any reference to them.
