failed chat message event handling

[nuvasuper]

In your example on http://socket.io/get-started/chat/, in index.html, the code for binding the event http://socket.io/get-started/chat/ etc is in the lines BEFORE the form is declared <form action=""> <input id="m" autocomplete="off" /><button>Send</button> </form> Which causes it to fail unless reordered! The <script> section for that code ought to go after the form has been created.

Ran into same problem. Either the code should be activated upon document ready or it should be moved below body.

Looks like someone already submitted a pull request for it: #13

@rauchg can you change the tutorial following this then newbie will not be confused why socket.io not working.

Yeah, this issue had me scratching my head for a while! By moving the script section after the body, it started working. Rather than reading the FAQ's I googled the problem and there are a bunch of posts on StackOverflow about this problem.

There are also a few about res.sendfile (deprecated). It would be nice to see both cleaned up in the tutorial.

Just adding my voice to the chorus that this should be updated. Thanks for the issue and fix #13
