javascript - Can't seem to emit custom event with socket.io -

alright guys i'm stuck on , can't seem figure out why it's not working. i'm still relatively new using socket.io , hoping more experience can help me out. added event listener 'typing' when user typing broadcasts room user typing...

on 'bindsocketevents' server side have following

//nickname set socket.emit('typing', { nick: nickname });

and in 'binddomevents` function have

socket.on('typing', function(data){ $('<li>' + data.nick + ' typing...</li>').appendto('.chat-rooms ul li'); }); //dont mind appending trying working

my event doesn't seem emitted though , socket.on 'typing' never fired

javascript jquery node.js socket.io
