Add Facebook-like Chat to your Website with the jQuery Chat Module

I like the no-install Facebook/Gmail type of chat, on Firefox the Facebook Chat client looks like another great, non-intrusive, seamlessly integrated Firefox extension.

This is exactly what jQuery chat module is said to bring unto your website – - but it lacks rosters; you can’t see which users are online.
How it effectively functions, I can’t say. I haven’t tested it (but the comments on the developer’s site are comportable).

It’s features include;

- Gmail style bottom right display of chat boxes
- Keeps chat boxes open and stores state (data) even when pages are browsed/refreshed similar to Facebook
- Displays “Sent at…” after 3 minutes of inactivity
- Displays “X says…” & blinks chat boxes when window is not in focus
- Minimize and close chat boxes
- Auto-resize of text input box
- Auto-scrolling of chat text
- Auto-back-off polling policy (hits the server less-often when chat activity is low)
- Extremely simple to integrate into existing site

- – It compatible with all the popular browsers out there, from Firefox 2+ to Opera 9+, via Internet Explorer 6+ and Safari 2
