Why did my browser cant connect to nodejs socket.io server?

My server side code is as below:

var app = require('http').createServer(handler)
  , io = require('socket.io').listen(app)


app.listen(1000);

function handler (req, res) {

  function (err, data) {

    res.writeHead(200);
    res.end(data);
  });
}

io.sockets.on('connection', function (socket) {
  socket.emit('message', { hello: 'world' });
  socket.on('my other event', function (data) {
    console.log(data);
  });
});

My browser side code is as below:

window.WebSocket = window.WebSocket || window.MozWebSocket; 

if (!window.WebSocket){  

alert("WebSocket not supported by this browser");

return;

}

var websocket = new WebSocket("ws://127.0.0.1:1000/");

websocket.onmessage = function(evt){

var data = evt.data;
console.log(data);

}

First I run server with 'node server.js', it's ok. And when I run the cient code,browser said it couldnt connect to 'http://127.0.0.1:1000' , why? Do client side must write with socket.io too?

You should connect to the server with socket.io client like this:

<script src="/socket.io/socket.io.js"></script>
<script>
    var socket = io.connect('http://localhost:3000');
</script>

yes you must talk with the right protocol to socket.io , look at socket.io-client and the examples in the documentation.
