Hi Alex,
Even for chat, that seems very inefficient to me. You end up sending a much
larger string than is necessary. Here's an example where 7 characters get
converted to 141:
put member("input").text
-- "d�j� vu"
put member("input").html
-- "<html>
<head>
<title>Untitled</title>
</head>
<body bgcolor="#DDDDDD">
<font face="Arial" size=2>déjà vu</font></body>
</html>
That means using 20 times the bandwidth.
Cheers,
James
