ChaNT

ChaNT is a user-friendly open-source web-based chat system that is cross-browser compatible and written in PHP and JavaScript. It is a flexible and powerful system that comes with a range of features such as support for BBCode, 3D animated smileys, and an IM-like toolbar for formatting your chat messages. One of the great things about ChaNT is that it does not require any browser plugins like Java or Flash. Additionally, it does not require MySQL, and all data is stored in ordinary files, making it user-friendly.

Privacy is a top priority for ChaNT, so the system includes features such as traffic encryption (client-server-client), as well as client-side password hashing. It also comes with a powerful admin control panel, making it easy for administrators to manage the system. Furthermore, ChaNT is easy to integrate with many forums and CMS.

ChaNT is supported by all major browsers, including Internet Explorer, Firefox, Opera, Safari, and Mozilla. The system has a minimalistic, elegant user interface that looks and feels a lot like an IM desktop application since it uses AJAX. Its lightweight design makes chatting more fun, and it is fast and efficient.

You can stay up-to-date with the latest ChaNT updates by bookmarking the page and returning at any time.

So, how does ChaNT work? The client-side of ChaNT functions on JavaScript XMLHttpRequest object, which communicates asynchronously with the server-side. The server response is parsed and used to update the chat window content. Since the HTML is generated locally within the browser, and only JavaScript calls and the actual data are brought down, AJAX webpages can appear to load quickly, making ChaNT a responsive and intuitive platform for all your chatting needs.
