Chat Room Setup

I would like to know how is a chat room set up on the internet. Is it done so by using programming langanges like
CGI? Can it be done using Java, etc? Can anyone kindly advice me on that. Thankss

SirCaleb

CGI would be an awkward way of doing so....Java is the most efficient way to do it. There is a Java chat room already out there for use. It does have some advertising on it but have a look anyway...maybe this can save you the hassle of having to totally re-write one. And you can put this on ANY WEB PAGE!

Here is the place where you can get the chat room:
http://www.parachat.com/

This is that Java Chat on somebody's webpage:
http://members.xoom.com/RipFire/chat.html

Hope this helps you.

Yes, I know that Chat Setup can be gotten free on the Internet, as I have found another web site at www.beseen.com that gives free chat room. However, I want to know the way to write the code, etc. any ideas?

SirCaleb

You could try downloading that Java Applet from Parachat and maybe "decompile" it, if that is possible...I'm not sure if you can "decompile" Java...not my specialty :-)

Thanks for the infomation, but I don't think I want to do that stuff.
