On liveSend and button

[Shiyu ZHANG]

Hi all,

  I know that if we put a button tag <button onclick="my_liveSend"></button>, the defined liveSend function would be called once the button is clicked. Meanwhile, the form would be submitted, meaning that a player would then move to the next page.

  The other approach is to create a button that does not submit the form, i.e. <button type="button" onclick="my_liveSend"></button>, but call form.submit() inside liveRecv().

  I am wondering which one is better. Shall I worry that the live message might be lost if one leaves the page too quick?

Best,

Jake

Yes the message might not get sent if you navigate to the next page right away. So you should send the message, then in your live_method send a confirmation back to the page. When your liveRecv received the confirmation, you can submit the page.
