| Does anyone know a place where I can find code to make an Ajax chat program in HTML coding? I'm looking for the source code itself, as I learn best from looking at source code and messing around with it. That way I can figure out what it does. So does anyone have or know where I can get the code? I'm also looking for it in HTML coding so I can put it on my website. Thanks! |

| Any chat program needs a centralized server. So even if you find some code you can copy and paste, at most it'll just show you the client code, and at least it will just show you the server name. If you want to make and/or host one yourself, you'll need some kind of server-side scripting, like PHP, which I unfortunately don't know too much about. Try asking on Cemetech, since KermMartian does stuff with PHP (I think). |

| Kerm wrote up a chat program in ajax he calls "sax", it is designed as a phpbb add-on but I'm sure the code would be very useful to you, it can be found here |

Haha, thanks for the plug. Yup, SAX (Simultaneous Asynchronous eXchange) is an AJAX chat widget for phpBB, programmed in PHP and using a flat file for conversation dissemination. |

| Thanks, but that won't work. I was looking for something that you could put in <script language=javascript></script> tags. I'm putting it in a part of the site that works with html, so php isn't working. |

There's no way to do it without PHP or some other server-side programming language, because you need the server to coordinate sharing text between the clients. |

Alright. I understand.
Is there a way to make a shoutbox I can put up? I think I've seen simple shoutboxes in html or javascript before. Can this be done? |

| Isn't that basically what sax chat is, i can't see a difference in what you want and what sax can do, and from my understanding is that you would need something like sax to handle that, unless you want people to be constantly reloading the page. |

| I (now) want just a simple shoutbox that people type something in and it sbmits it. Yes you would have to reload the page to see any new shouts, but it doesn't have to be like instant chat. |

Think about it for a minute. Where are the shouts/messages being stored? Anything like this needs to be running server-side, unless you like talking to yourself.

If the problem is that your server doesn't support server-side scripting, I know of some free ones that do. Here's one I use for my own site:

Thanks for the link. I'll set up a site there.
So I can set up a full chat here, or just a chatbox? |

They're conceptually the same; you can have either both or neither. If one works, the other will, and if one doesn't, the other won't either. Both require server-side writeback.
Edit: Oh, and I noticed something about your first post: If you're such a "1337 n1nj4," then you'd know that HTML is not a coding language, it's a markup language.

OK, then I'll try the chatbox.
Oh, I know HTML isn't a coding language... I didn't mean to say HTML coding. I just meant using HTML.  |

| OK I got the FTP set up and everything, but I'm not sure how to install it. Do I just put the jscript and php files in a directory of the FTP, or is there more to it? The site (cemtech) says it will take about 15 min, so what more do I have to do? Sorry if I sound n00bish, but I haven't done this before. |

| If you're using the PHPBB plugin, then you need PHPBB installed first. If you just want a chat program, google php chat programs. |

| Which code from Kerm? Are you talking about his SAX? That's a phpBB plugin, meaning you need to set up a phpBB forum first. Do you have one already? |

| No, but with 000webhost I can upload one. I could make one really quick, though. I'll configure it later, but get it set up for the chat first. |
