just for those who are interested in how i did this:
http://www.gamexe.net/css/fluid-css-speech-bubbles/

and my next thought is to combine that technique with the following one:

not to do this as hover but to strech the bubble dynamicly with help of images and not just filling the background with color. ^^

so i thought replacing the variable with a string containing your name should do it.
but you should only replace the node_tags[i] with "yourname" in the block where your items are fetched.

Nu... I do it...
I write my name "Emil" but I get the screen without names

Code:

if (id == ("MessageSenderName" + type_name))
                name_tag = "Emil";

why do you use it for IM-conversation?
you can set your display-name (/nick) in your account settings?!

it's only meant for sms-conversation. ^^

btw: a 3d-bubble could easily be done with fixed width and flexible height as seen in the hover-example in my posting before.

if you want to have it also resized to width this one could get complicated. but it would be possible. coding just requires a lot of patience. *g*

Aaaaaaaaa.... I thought I can do this in the IM too.... without changing my nickname or displayname in my account settings. I thought it is possible change the my name only for telephone IM conversation and not in all of my accounts (ICQ, MSN, Yahoo, Skape...)
It's possible ?

try to change:

Code:

if (item.name_str != "" && name_tag) {
        name_tag.innerHTML = item.name_str;
    }

to:

Code:

if (item.name_str != "" && name_tag) {
        name_tag.innerHTML = item.name_str;
    }

if (item.name_str != "" && name_tag && item.self) {
        name_tag.innerHTML = "yourname";
    }

and please change the node_tag[i] back *G*

EDIT: have forgotten to paste over the second if-block, sorry. now that's my suggestion on how to do this. (haven't tested it ^^)

tried to get the bubbles to work like in this html/css example:
http://trentrichardson.com/examples/csstooltips/

with one image of a bubble and one image of the mid-section.
the mid-section appeared but i had no top and bottom of the bubble. xD

i guess it would work but it maybe would be the best to rewrite the html and css file completely. ^^

easy to make is following: (as shown in a post somewhere back)
http://www.gamexe.net/css/fluid-css-speech-bubbles/
(the problem with the timestamp is surely solvable ^^)

don't know how the iphone is resizing the bubbles but they only have two PNGs for them - one for your and one for your contact's messages.
i attached the original image and the same only zoomed in 15 times.
so i guess they are using the kind of trick i described earlier today with dividing the bubble into 9 pieces and stacking them together.
that's possible because of the layout of the bubbles.
you have nice straight edges (just for a few pixels on opposite ends), no color-grades in the middle and therefore you are able to let them repeat right to / below each other without ruining the bubble-look.
maybe i'll try to make an iphone-them for the conversations *G*.

sounds like having 1 pixel thick line with it set to repeat as background for a non fixed width/height container. i used to do that instead of making a large image, just have a small one repeat. saved time in loading the page and made sure the background displayed the same for window stretching/resizing.

uff... then maybe you could help me out ^^
i've been trying for about 3 hours now and i only get the 4 corners shown properly.
everything in between seems to be messy and afterwards you wouldn't recognize my bubble as a bubble anymore. xD

maybe you could write some html- and css-code for this little purple bubble i posted above resizing correctly.

that's what i've got till now:
HTML:

Code:

<div class="TopLeft"><div class="TopRight"><div class="BottomLeft"><div class="BottomRight">
<span class="Message"> (here's everything: Name, Text, Timestamp) </span>
</div></div></div></div>

CSS:

Code:

.TopLeft { background: url(tl.png) top left no-repeat; }
.TopRight { background: url(tr.png) top right no-repeat; }
.BottomLeft { background: url(bl.png) bottom left no-repeat; }
.BottomRight { background: url(br.png) bottom right no-repeat; }

my attempt to cut out the correct areas from that little purple bubble png:

Code:

display: block; height: 20px; width: 15px; background: url(bubble.png); background-position: -24px -14px;

DIDN'T WORK.

ehm yes... i would appreciate your help for getting the filling between my 4 corners to work
