How to handle joining a chat room

I've been splitting hairs, trying to accomplish what I though would be simple and straight forward (writing a handler which triggers an action once a user joins a chat room).

So here's the line for joining the chat room

Code:

My_namespace.connection.send(
			
$pres({to:  My_namespace.room_jid + "/" + My_namespace.nick, id: "join_room"}).c("jid").t(My_namespace.jid).up().c("nick").t(My_namespace.nick)
			
);

And here is the line that sets the handler before initial presence is sent

Code:

My_namespace.connection.addHandler(My_namespace.room_joined, null, "presence", null, "join_room");

And here's the handler implementation

Code:

		My_namespace.room_joined = function(presence){
	
		
			var nick = $(presence).children("nick").text();
			
			var jid = $(presence).children("jid").text();
		
                        console.log("Successfully joined room.  Nick is: "+nick+" and jid is: "+jid );

			return true;
		
		}

This doesn't work. I suspected that you cannot use ids with such stanzas. So i stripped the id attribute and tried this instead, similar to what's in the book

Code:

		My_namespace.room_joined = function(presence){


			var from = $(presence).attr("from");
			
			
			if(from === My_namespace.room_jid + "/" + My_namespace.nick){//If presence is coming from me
				
			     var nick = $(presence).children("nick").text();
			
			     var jid = $(presence).children("jid").text();
		
                        console.log("Successfully joined room.  Nick is: "+nick+" and jid is: "+jid );

                        }


			return true;
		
		}

This kind of works, but only when I test it on the iPhone. For some reason I do not understand, it either won't run on a pc or mac, or it just takes for ever to trigger the handler. Who knows how to best go about this?
