JChat is a professional AJAX powered chat application that allows you to transform your website into a fully featured chat portal with unlimited rooms and users. JChat is arguably the most powerful and fully featured AJAX / Javascript based chat application available on the internet today boasting features such as:
JChat is Web 2.0
JChat is powered by AJAX which is the latest web based technology powering the Web 2.0 phenomenom, AJAX web applications work like Windows
application, ie no page refreshes placing a heavy load on your web server. Google uses this AJAX technology in it's Gmail and maps web applications and
we feel that AJAX is the way of the future. All the Major Web browsers ship with Javascript / AJAX enabled which means users accessing JChat on your website do not need to
install any 3rd party plugins such as Flash or Java which power other Chat solutions.
WYSIWYG Message Input
JChat boasts a fully WYSIWYG (what you see is what you get) input interface, with many tools such as the classic "bold, italic. underline" as well as more advanced
features such as image and smiley inclusion. When initiated these transformations are applied in realtime to user input box, not via BBcode and other "geek" type
methods which confuse many users and interupt the flow of communication. There is currently no other web based chat application that we are aware of which boasts the ease of usability that is
evident with JChat's advanced user interface.
Fully HTML/CSS Skinned Output
JChat is fully templated using XHTML and CSS - Every single element of output can be modified to suit the design needs of the Webmaster without the need to understand
complex scripting langauges. If you can work with basic HTML, you can easily customise JChat to suit the design requirements of your website.
Powerful Permissions Control
The JChat permission / access control system allows you to easily define user access to individual rooms. You can group users and apply permissions collectively to
the group or to a single user if required. Guests are also supported with the ability for the guest to choose their own username. Each permission level is color coded
with the username displaying the color code of their access level regarding the room they are currently in. Permissions are another feature that set JChat apart from the
competition. There is currently no other web based chat application that we are aware of which boasts anything close to JChat's advanced permissions system.
