Socket.io Difficulties

[Coly010]

I'm having some difficulties getting socket.io up and running.

It doesn't seem to be emitting events on the client side and when I load up dev tools in chrome I see this:

my code is this:

 

<script src="https://cdn.socket.io/socket.io-1.3.5.js"></script>
<script>$(document).ready(function(){
var socket = io();
$("#entry").click(function() {
	socket.emit("connect", "USER");
});
});</script>

 

and yes, I have socket.io 1.3.5 installed.

any ideas?

You are not connected to a socket (unless there is more code)

you need

[js]var socket = io.connect(); [/js]

rather then var socket = io();

Got it working! Thanks for all the help guys? [MENTION=68711]KyleMassacre[/MENTION] can you lock this or delete? :)

Can you post what you did just in case someone else runs into the problem?

I had to uninstall and reinstall the node_modules then in my server code:

var express = require('express');
var app = express();
var http = require('http').createServer(app);
var server = app.listen(3000);
var io = require('socket.io').listen(server);

 

client:

<script src='/socket.io/socket.io.js'></script>
<script>
var socket = io.connect();
</script>
