Re: need an idea, please help

HiThanks for the suggestions. I've done most of these (well, this is my somewhat small project, chessboard is a bg immageand each chess piece is a jpg, functions containing rules and a postgres db containing the pieces positions. At least that is what I hope to do. This is the design phase and what I was asking about was the only catch that I didn't think I knew how to do (I could be wrong though). Is there a way to send a 'refresh' command through java/javascript? If not I would probably set the meta refresh tag to the max turn time. One reason I am doing this is I found Yahoo's interface somewhat clunky and was hoping to improve it (maybe sell it to them :) ). ---Matt On Fri, 20 Oct 2000, Teodor Cimpoesu wrote: > Hi Matthew! > On Fri, 20 Oct 2000, Matthew Mundy wrote: > > > I am trying to writing a php online chess game as a way to learn PHP(hey, > > might as well enjoy the testing process :) ).
