var server = require('http').createServer(function(req, res){
res.writeHead(200,{'Content-Type':'text/html'});
  res.end(html);
});
server.listen(1200);

var everyone = require('now').initialize(httpServer);

everyone.now.distributeMessage = function(message){
  everyone.now.receiveMessage(this.now.name, message);
};

my html code:

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
<title>nowjs test</title>
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.5.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<script src="now.js"></script>

<script>
$(document).ready(function(){

  now.receiveMessage = function(name, message){
    $("#messages").append("<br>" + name + ": " + message);
  }

  $("#send-button").click(function(){
    now.distributeMessage($("#text-input").val());
    $("#text-input").val("");
  });

  now.name = prompt("What's your name?", "");

});
</script>
</head>

<body>
  <div id="messages"></div>
  <input type="text" id="text-input">
