You can build one using ASP... its not as good as a java applet one but its easy.

I think i got it out of some book some where a long time ago. I was going to clean it up some but never did much. It became a low priority. Nevertheless, here is the file.

To look for others simply google it.

Chatrooms in ASP..
It's probibly not the best language to do it in, seeing how it would have to be set on a refresh timer, and depending on what you refresh with it, could take along time, and alot of bandwidth...

IMO, I suggest using java, not matter how bad (IMO) it looks ;)

I was just looking for a later version of the one I have. It is LiquidChat and you can find under Google. I customized it a lot and here it is. Very happy with it, but when 10+ visitos hit, it slows down, but still functional. All under MS Access Database.

I ran across ConquerChat under Google and checked out a few demos. It is quicker and very nice but didn't have the the features LiquidChat has.

That's why I just decided to make a comment panel.. (And a nice looking one too, with filters, and a complete admin section...)

I am thinking of releasing it sometime...

The original idea of making my own comment panel came from http://8op.com

They are down now.. Don't know why, never will...

ehem, did I here someone say you have to refresh on a time basis?

Rather than refreshing, I have hooked up vladdy's background server poll script (http://www.codingforums.com/showthread.php?s=&threadid=17308) to a mini chat thing and have a nice little chat. I'm going to put it on the net soon.

U still have to do it on a timer but there is no refreshing envolved, at the moment I have it writing to a textarea but I will change that soon.

Basically I have it adding to a text file when you send a message, then the script that polls the server.asp file gets sent a date and time from the js which it checks against the dates and times in the text file and returns only the lines that have been added since the last poll.
