hey! great work on blog but i'm getting post error. how do i fix it? i copied the code as it was. Thank you.

please find the attached image.

(index):21 Uncaught ReferenceError: isTyping is not defined
at HTMLInputElement.oninput ((index):21)

It works fine in my local server, but does not work if deploy it to Heroku or Google Cloud Platform.

This does not work on a server within my local home network. I can connect to my server on the 8080 port just fine, but the send button just returns the following:

Cannot POST /

I suspect that socket.io has been updated significantly since this post so the coding is wildly out of date for this project as it looks to not been maintained. I suspect this because the following script tag in index.ejs would never finds that file.

The correct path to the js file in question is actually the following:

There's also a script reference to a very old jQuery implementation that I am not sure if that is causing issues also. At the end of the day, this code and the article that featured it should be taken down if it is not being maintained.

I made a fork of this project to make some modifications, but when I try to run this code on a virtual server running Ubuntu, it does not function properly. Here's a screenshot. A join message does not appear when I enter a username.

All is fine until I send a message and the web page goes blank and only shows the words "Cannot POST /" in the top right.

If I set my name as <script>alert()</script>, it will pop up a alert. Which is a XSS issue
