Hi,
THE SITE
I have a full-window site that allows visitors to open a pop-up chat in order to talk to other visitors.
FIRST PROBLEM
If while chating, a visitor clicks on the main window for browsing, the chat window disappears. I believe most of my visitors don't know ALT+TAB and, since the main window is full-screen, they will never get the actual chat window back.
FIRST SOLUTION
Use some kind of focus. If I'm chating with somebody and click in the main window, when the person I'm talking to writes something the chat window will pop-up again.
SECOND PROBLEM
With first solution, my typing activity is interrupted when other person in the chat writes and sends something. I have to click inside the textarea again with the mouse in order to continue typing.
SECOND SOLUTIONS?
Now, is it possible to keep the window coming up without interrupting the typing? Or I'll have to choose between the focus on the window or the focus on the text area?
Any ideas would be really, really appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
Eduardo
