basic socket.io communication

Question

basic socket.io communication

I have the following setup using node.js and socket.io

server.js:

var io = require('socket.io').listen(8000);
io.sockets.on('connection', function (socket) {
socket.emit('news', { hello: 'world' });
socket.on('my other event', function (data) {
  console.log(data);
  });
});

index.html:

<html><body><h1>It works!</h1>
<script src="http://ip:8000/socket.io/socket.io.js">
<script>

var socket = io.connect('http://ip:8000');
socket.emit('my other event', { my: 'data' });
</script>
</body></html>

Could anyone please tell me why I don't see any debug messages or I do not receive any communication between them?

node.js
socket.io

You forgot to close your script tag:

<script src="http://ip:8000/socket.io/socket.io.js">

Add </script:

<script src="http://ip:8000/socket.io/socket.io.js"></script>
