 * I’m trying to add in Quick Chat a “user is typing” function, but i’m not a professional
   and it would be greatful if someone could help to integrate this function to 
   Quick Chat.
 * How it should work:
    when my chat partner (user1) starts typing I see in my chat
   box: “user1 is typing”
 * when I (user2) am typing he sees in his chat box: “user2 is typing”.
 * The following code should be work, but i dont know how to integrate:
 *     ```
       <script type="text/javascript" language="javascript">
       var timer = 0;
       function reduceTimer(){
       timer = timer - 1;
       isTyping(true);
       }
       function isTyping(val){
       if(val == 'true'){
       document.getElementById('typing_on').innerHTML = "User is typing...";
       }else{
   
       if(timer <= 0){
       document.getElementById('typing_on').innerHTML = "No one is typing -blank space.";
       }else{
       setTimeout("reduceTimer();",500);
       }
       }
       }
       </script>
   
       <label>
       <textarea onkeypress="isTyping('true'); timer=5;" onkeyup="isTyping('false')" name="textarea" id="textarea" cols="45" rows="5"></textarea>
       </label>
       <div id="typing_on">No one is typing - blank speace.</div>
       ```
   
 * Could someone help me? That would be a great function for Quick Chat.
