Chat applet

[Ike]

I'm wondering if someone can direct me to an open source, small chat applet,
which allows users on a given web page, to see who else is on that web page,
and chat with them. Just looking for something simple. THanks, Ike

It wouldn't be a simple applet. You'd have to write a server as well for the
applet to connect to. It isn't all that difficult, really. Lately it seems
as if I could write a server in my sleep. If you aren't up on network
programming try here:

Especially pay attention to the "All About Sockets" section. It walks you
through writing a simple server and client. As for the applet, besides the
net code, all it takes is a list box for showing users, a text area for the
messages, and a text field and button for sending messages.

I just wrote something very quickly, of course it is not very
functional, but it is quick and dirty.
