i get the following error "StropheError message: Cannot queue non-DOMElement." when i construct the presence message without using jquery and send it. any reason why?

thanks.

var Connection_ = null;
function Connect()
{
Connection_ = new Strophe.Connection('http://localhost:5280/xmpp-httpbind');

Connection_.connect(user, pwd, XMPP_ConnectionHandler);
}


function XMPP_ConnectionHandler(status)
{
if (status === Strophe.Status.CONNECTED)
{
var presence = "<presence>";
presence += " <priority>-1</priority>";
presence += "</presence>";
Connection_.send(presence);
}

}

You cannot pass arbitrary strings to send(). They must be DOM elements. You can use Strophe's xmlElement() function to generate these if you like, or use the Strophe builder stuff.

For example:

would do the same thing your code is trying to do.

If you want to see how these DOM elements are built behind the scenes, you can look at the strophe.js source.

i was just playing around with a things and found that

$presence().c('priority').t(1) and the string that i have on the code above is the exact same string and yet did produce the same result.

i did some digging of strophe source code and saw the initialization that happen when the $<> code is called.

thanks for answering the post. feels very good that there is someone to look out for when i need help...
