Socket.io: Issue with sample chat app

Created on 1 Aug 2016  ·  3Comments  ·  Source: socketio/socket.io

While working through the sample at http://socket.io/get-started/chat/ I ran into some problems with jQuery handlers not firing.

I eventually traced it to not having $(document).ready(...) around the Javascript code.

e.g.

$( document ).ready(function() {
    $('form').submit(...
});

My recommendation is that $(document).ready() be aded to the source, as this may have tripped up other people as well.

Thanks,

Thanks, the same here.

Btw, you can also add the $('form').submit( thing just before the closing body tag.

Thank you. I was driving myself crazy trying to figure out why it wasn't working.

That issue was closed automatically. Please check if your issue is fixed with the latest release, and reopen if needed (with a fiddle reproducing the issue if possible).
