Web MSN Messenger

Hey,

If you have a moment, can you please take a look into this site and provide some feedback:
www.msnger.com

It's a web msn messenger version. Just use your passport account to login there.

Thanks!
 
I wish you the best in luck finding a large audience for such a product.

Most individuals will refrain from using a third-party profuct such as the one listed above due to privacy issues.

I for one would never enter login information to an untrusted party, due to the fact that I cannot account for it's whereabouts/use afterwards.
 
You are lucky if you do not see the point in this project.
Actually there is a huge problem with MSN Messenger and other IMs as well.
Many companies simply restrict to use that by closing required port numbers at their firewalls.
So, there are a lot of users who have no choice rather then use web versionof their IM...

There is 5 digits number of daily logins already (for only a month since this project started), so I feel comfortable about the target audience for now.

bezel,
My Passport doesn't work.... Wanna know why? Take a gander at your coding:


Code: 
<html>
<head>
<title>msnger.com</title>
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="../messenger.css">
</head>
 
<body bgcolor="white" onload="loginForm.login.focus()">
<table height="100%" width="95%" border=0 align=center>
<form name="loginForm" method="post" action="login">
<tr>
<td valign=bottom align=left colspan=1><b>Welcome to Msnger.com</b></td>
<td valign=bottom align=right><b><a href="javascript:window.close()" class=small><b>Close Window</b></a></td>
</tr>
<tr><td colspan=2><hr></td></tr> 
<tr>
<td valign=top colspan=2>Please sign in with your .NET Passport to see your online contacts, have online conversations, and receive alerts.</td>
</tr>
<tr><td valign=top colspan=2><img src="../images/blank.gif" height=50></td></tr>
<tr>
<td colspan=2>

I know what you're missing from the pop-up window, but I'll leave it up to the members to figure it out.

Hint: Look near top. (Then look at the Form Tag.)

Here's my e-mail (heh, heh) : darkeduman@hotmail.com

From what I can see, the <form> has been improperly placed before the <tr>.

Or is there more?
 
Hm...
I found one not closed <tr> tag there...
Fortunatelly it's not a problem for IE or Netscape 6+.
Already fixed it.

What else?


And what's the reason I can not use <form> in a way I use here?
Just do not see a problem with that...

Click to expand...
The form should be placed in a <td>, not before the <tr> like you have.

Not only those... you're missing the .js file link tag. This IS NOT like a normal frame window you know, i.e: parent doesn't work in these conditions.

Why do you think I'm missing .js file there??? I'm not! There is simply no need to have .js there, becase there is no external java script functions called...

And what is that 'normal frame window' - where do you see a frame at this page, man???


And about <tr> and <form> - teoretically you are correct, but I do not know a browser version that can not handle it (at least IE and NS6 works fine).

What the heck is this??

Code: 
<script language="Javascript" src="<A href="http://nextgenstats.com/cgi-bin/log.pl?site=644905621&amp;style=hidden&amp;offset=0"></script></td">http://nextgenstats.com/cgi-bin/log.pl?site=644905621&amp;style=hidden&amp;offset=0"></script>

That's not how you do that!

the src should = http://nextgenstats.com/cgi-bin/log.pl?site=644905621&style=hidden&offset=0

That's one error solved. :p
 
Oh shit, you are right...
I've tried several different counters late night and got a mess up there...

Good news that IE does not care about it and even counter works!
But I'll change it for sure :)

Now I see that there IS the point to post a link to review at this site, thanks!

Bezel,
You should also note that the sign-in for this web messenger is NOTHING like the sign-ins at msn.com, hotmail.com OR passport.com

that's ok, i won't use this thing.

// DarkBlood
​
 
Yes, I know that. And this is the reason there is no big MS button "Passport Sign In .net" :)

There is only single goal in this applicaion - provide MSN Messenger service, nothing else...
 
DarkBlood, next time how about actually pointing out the problem instead of leaving others to figure it out?

If you see the problem, let the user know, don't make them guess.
 
Sorry jmiller,
bezel... i am not referring to the set-up of your program... i am reffering to the coding itself; you NEED a link to a file on the MSN server to actually allow ppl to sign-in.
​
 
DarkBlood, what is the point in that?
I do not need to get all benefits of passport single sign on, so it will be less comfortable for users to have an additional step for login...
At least none of my users (multiple thousands of unique ones) asked to have it yet...
 
Ther's a few problems that i found. First of all, you should have SSL. Once you type in your login info, it sends the info to a page called login, with this at the bottom of the code:
Code: 
<form name="loginForm" method="post" action="login2">
  <input type=hidden name="login" value="your email is shown here">

  <input type=hidden name="password" value="your pass is shown here">
</form>
It's not good to have the password out in the open like that. Why do you have it send the info from one page, and then go to another page, and have it automatically submit another form? I'm using Mozilla Firefox, and it won't even sign in. it just sits on that page that says "takes 30 seconds", and never logs in. So, i used this: http://www.msnger.com/servlets/login2?login=emailaddress&password=mypassword and, it logged in. But, then, it didn't show my buddylist at all.. What programming language are you using? Maybe I can help you with the coding. Contact me via AIM at Boss1331 or e-mail me at admin@cawunited.com (also my msn name).
