Ye' old general discussion board. Basically, for everything that isn't covered elsewhere. Come here to shoot the breeze, shoot your mouth off, or whatever suits your fancy. This forum is not for asking programming related questions.
My website chat is currently built using PHP/JavaScript/MySQL (DOM). It works OK for the most part, except that mozilla hates it.
Also (even though I've used javascript to create an illusion of real time chat) there is a couple second delay from when the message is sent, to when the message is displayed.
Thus, I've decided I need java. Java is platform/browser independent so it will work great for everyone.
Does anyone know of any premade (yes, I hate using programs already made, but I guess I will make an exception) java chats that have database connectivity configurability (for existing site members) ?
Just search for "Java IRC applet".. I remember that i've installed GmorkIRC once in a website (but i don't seem to find the source for that applet anymore..)
