Socket.io is sending an array of characters instead of my string

Question

From the server to the client.

I've looked at the chat example and I can't tell what I'm doing differently that would affect that. What would cause this behavior?

Are you sure? Sometimes you will find that a string gets represented as an array of characters. For example you can for loop over it. And I've also found debuggers sometimes show an array of characters instead of a string. This might not be a problem with socketio but instead with your analysis tool. — Raynos

I've tried stepping through the javascript in the Chrome debugger in both the chat example and my code. I see an array of chars for my code and a string for the chat example. — Fantius
