This ASP and JavaScript-based chat source code facilitates fast communication without page refreshes. It employs Remote Scripting mechanism and is compatible with IE 4+ and Netscape 6+ on both Windows and UNIX, with no hidden java applets, frames or layers.
The main features of this program include no page refreshes, no java applets or external objects needed, private messages, a server-side logging of all chats, and the ability to be optionally hooked up to a database for user authentication. Additionally, there is an administration page and many customization parameters, including an abusive words filter, style coding, and count indicators. The program provides fast response times, even on a relatively slow connection.
Advanced customizations are made easy with the fully commented and easy-to-read code provided. The program also offers more features.
To see how some customers implemented the chat on their sites, visit ncysa.net (signup or use guest/guest as a user ID and password), raistlin.myip.org (you must sign up on that site to use the chat), and alopezie.tschive.ch (German version). Overall, this software provides efficient and customizable chat features without the need for constant page refreshes or external objects.
