You should post in your original thread.

I'm trying my best to understand what you are talking about here.
Aren't the chat rooms on Msn java applets?

What language are you using? (exmaple: ASP/PHP )
or do you want an applet? << I wouldn't consider it

[Tom]

I don't have one but I could get you one, BUT I need to know if your server supports serverside of any sought.

who are you hosted with?

[Tom]

if u mean the site i use to make my site is geocites!

[Mhtml]

hmm.... Geocitites does not support the post method so having a chat there would require either a remotely hosted room or having an java applet which I strongly recommend you don't.

So I suggest that you find a host with .asp or .php support which doesn't mind if you have a chat room.

I'll have a look for you.

wats bad about a applet chat

[Mhtml]

Well, java itself is a good language but when it is used as an applet on a webpage it causes all soughts of problems from time to time, mainly freezing the browser or the whole operating system.

IMO chat applets might be a vialble option. I know Yahoo games used to use (maybe still do, haven't been there for a while) Applets for their game rooms and they were quite reliable with only occasional crashes.

If you'd like to explore the option of using Java for chat, here's a few you might want to take a look at:

Edit: For example, one from the link I posted that seems pretty nice (I personally have never used it, but it's worth a look: http://www.weirdoz.org/visualchat/

Of course PHP, for example, offers some very nice chat scripts. However, you must have PHP/MySQL support and know how to configure the scripts to work properly ;).
