Hello Justin
Ok, you are right, I know it is possible to get complete chat services at free (just
install it in your page).
I think I forgot mention something. The reason I don't want use these services is
because I want people be able to retrieve info of my database when chatting.
Since I have profiles and pictures of people stored in databases, I want people
instantly getting these info through chat services.
For instance, when presenting list of chatters, just with a click you can see
picture and profile of that person.
This connection is impossible to stablish when using predefined chats, thats the
reason I want to make my own chat.
Thanks
