|  | | Chat Room |  | | This is a chat application, built with HTML, ASP, and a dash of client-side JavaScript. No software to install, no upgrades to download; a totally thin client. The key to making this so simple is the use of Application variables. Not only is data storage as simple as reading and writing from the Application() collection, but since everything on the server is in memory, processing is lightning-fast.
This is completely plug and play. Nothing to configure if you don't want to; just unzip it on your web server and it's ready to go. users can customize their "look" for messages. Everyone seems to want an identity, and this is one way to get it. You can easily add more style features by adjusting the list. A configurable window (IE only; adjust the height from input.asp) in the menu frame now shows the current users; those in gray will time out in five minutes.
