Member Avatar for inshi

hello everyone,

i badly need your help

well, i have already implemented my chatroom in PHP which runs perfectly on a single computer.

however, when i have tested the chatroom over a network where atleast 2 computers accessing my chatrrom, it appears on 2 separate frames

that is, if 2 persons sign in, their names won't appear on a single frame where it should display the names of members getting in.

It does appear but on separate frames

if anyone can help, plzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz do it

thanks a lot for a positive act of favour on your part

do you have an example? can you post the code.

right now, I am also developing a chat system using PHP,XML,AJAX - no database.
do you think that would be useful?
