I have found that Live Chat, when active stops the Shoutbox from displaying the shouts. This seems to be caused by window.onload in chat.js.

In shoutbox.js there is a list of exceptions, where one can put other window.onload, but I can't find out how to name window.onload for Live_Chat.

The line is:

window.onload = function() { startChat(); }

startChat(); does not work and Live_Chat(); neither, because I get error messages in Firebug.

This is exception list from shoutbox.js:

function allonloads(){
SBpopulate();

Why would you want both the shoutbox and live chat on the same site? They basically do the same thing except live chat is way better Smile

Shoutbox is visible on front page, so it is a way to chat even though one is not at the site at present. It is a slow chat and also a way to announce things.

Is possible to write window.onload like this instead:

// each script does this:
if (window.addEventListener)
{
window.addEventListener('load', myLoadFunction, false);
}
else if (window.attachEvent)
{
window.attachEvent('onload', myLoadFunction);
}
