Chat Loading Window Message

[waiheke]

Internet Explorer can take up to 3 times longer than Firefox, Chrome, or Safari to load.

This can be disconcerting to the 50% of users who do use IE.
Add this to their loading window and they might not think it's hung - more, they know that it's okay to click refresh if need be.

In chat.js.tpl.php
Insert after the line <div id="pfc_loader">

Code: Select all

<?php
function ae_detect_ie()
{
    if (isset($_SERVER['HTTP_USER_AGENT']) &&
    (strpos($_SERVER['HTTP_USER_AGENT'], 'MSIE') !== false))
        return true;
    else
        return false;
}


if (ae_detect_ie()) {
$msg = "<br><i>Internet Explorer detected ...</i><br>click refresh if no entry within 1 minute";
 } else {
$msg = "<br>... Loading Chat ...";
}

?>
