You mean, you wanna code a web chat application? Doesn't your webhost provide you with some free one-click-install chat applications?

Anyway, check out http://www.sourceforge.net for all your coding needs. AFAIK, it has the largest collection of open source web/PC applications.

I personally prefer shoutboxes on personal websites, look at this one http://shoutbox.sourceforge.net.

Hope that helps.

Peace.

If u want a really decent chat, I highly recommond flashchat. www.tufat.com

Though it costs $5, it really deserves it.

It is the only script / software I have ever bought....

why to waste money .... just register for free in www.bravenet.com and use the services like chat etc... just copy paste the code given by them in your website... its really simple and easy to use.... u will need to have the java plugin installed though ..... 8)
