Chat Chat Chat

Hello fellas....
I'm looking for ideas on how to create an Inter-Office chat room?
What works best ASP, Java, VBScript, Visual Basic?
Your input is appreciated. QUOTE OF THE DAY

I have created a chat-application using ASP/VBScript myself and it works real fine. The only problem i encountered was the refreshing of the message page. The refreshing goes smooth when there are few users in the chat, whoever when there are more users it gets very shaky and you can hardly follow the conversation.

I used a HTML page with to IFRAMES one IFRAME handles the messages and the other handles the users loged in. I keep the messages and the users in an application variable array. I also gave users the opportunity to change fonts, colors, use emoticons etcetera...

I hope i gave you some usefull ideas...

Thanks for you response Sangoku
Did you code this yourself of did you use a template that can be customized?
My experience in VBScript is very limited (Been coding for about 4 months) so that's why I ask. I'm trying to come up with something for our office without anyone knowing about it.

It's just an idea right now

I have coded it myself. I could sent you the code if you like. You could use it as a start for developing your own chat. Those who can, do

Here's an application that this guy wrote. Got it in my email today, and remembered this thread. Maybe it can help.
