Hey guys, i'm looking into if there is a better way to do this, let me know please!
What it does, it checks if no length in input area refresh with no text,
then if there is value show text, then also on keydown check. show
text, and a extra refresh when a long time has past after key up,
also a timeout for extra, just if someone has a value for way to long..
if you have any tips and tricks to do this better please let me know!
if not now you have now enjoy!

Code: Select all
if( $('#usermsg').val().length === 0) {
var refreshIT = setInterval(function() {
$('#container').text('');
}, 10000);
};
if( $('#usermsg').val().length === 1) {
$('#container').text('user is typing..');
};
$('#usermsg').keydown(function(){
$('#container').text('user is typing..');
setTimeout(update(),100000);
});
$("#submitmsg").click(function() {
$('#container').text('');
});
$('#usermsg').keyup(function(){
var refreshIT = setInterval(function() {
$('#container').text('');
}, 1000000);
});
function update() {
var refreshIT = setInterval(function() {
$('#container').text('');
}, 10000);
};
