Hi, I'm trying to build a small and simple chat using MySQL, PHP and jQuery.
What I'm doing is that every two seconds (--> setInterval) I call (--> $.ajax) a php code that will echo the 20 most recent posts (stored in the db) to the "success" option of the $.ajax function. This happens even if there was no new message added to the db within the 2 seconds. It works perfectly using FF on macs and PCs and with Chrome!. Safari however seems to stop calling the $.ajax function after a finite number of times. I wrote a test code that increments a counter every time the posts are (re)loaded on the page. After several tests Safari seems to stop reloading the posts after a random number of times (it ranged from 9 to 46 reloads). What is the underlying problem? Is it the timer itself or the combination of setInterval and $.ajax? I'm really lost. Here is the link to the test page http://www.28prod.be/timerTest/betae/ (don't pay attention to the posts it's just a test) Also, Safari bugs only when the code is on the web, it works perfectly when run locally. Thanks for your help, Clem.
