= Purpose =
The purpose of [[mhttpd]] Chat Page is to provide a simple mean of communication between multiple users under the same Midas experiment. This communication was previously limited to users running [[odbedit]] and using the {{Odbedit cmd|cmd=chat}}. Now it can also be done using the Midas web application. Users can communicate via the web using the Chat Page ({{Odbedit cmd|cmd=chat}} messages also appear on the [[Chat Page]]). The chat messages are not saved in the [[Message System#MIDAS Log file|MIDAS logfile]].
 
Additionally, speaking (Text-to-Speech) of the message can be enabled (see below).
 
= Access to the Chat Page =
The Chat Page  (Figure 1) is displayed by clicking on the  {{Button|name=Chat}} button on the {{Utility|name=mhttpd}} [[Status Page]] (or other [[mhttpd]] page).
 
;Note
: If the Chat button is not present on the Status Page, it may have been [[Status Page#page-switch-buttons|suppressed]].
 
= Features of the Chat page =
The Chat page (Figure 1) is composed of 4 areas:
# Message field, for message to be sent
# Username field, to identify the sender
# a Speech enable button will be present if the web browser is compatible with the Google TTS engine. Check [http://caniuse.com/#search=SpeechSynthesisUtterance this site] for compatibility. Chrome, Safari, Opera, iOS Safari are compatible, IE, Firefox, Opera Mini, Android Browser are not (so far).
# Conversation box, message exchange history.
