<input id="chat" id="ta" class="chat-user'.$uid.'" placeholder="'.$LNG['write_message'].'" name="chat" />

L'ID è unico: può essercene soltanto uno.
A cosa ti serve aggiungere l'ID ta?

Ciao!

l'id ta mi serve per gli smile, tipo la chat tipo facebook

[radiodelmomento]

Allora cambia, nel codice JS, "ta" con "chat" e lascia "chat" come unico ID

Ciao!
