Answer 1

Have you tried loading the socket.io script not from a relative URL?

You're using:

And:

socket.connect('http://127.0.0.1:8080');

You should try:

And:

socket.connect('http://localhost:8080');

Switch localhost:8080 with whatever fits your current setup.

Also, depending on your setup, you may have some issues communicating to the server when loading the client page from a different domain (same-origin policy). This can be overcome in different ways (outside of the scope of this answer, google/SO it).
