Hi all,
I have a website where users login to and I wish to add Instant Messenger
between 2 users.. for instance, clicking "IM" on someone's profile (assuming
they're online of course) will prompt the other user if they wish to chat or
not.. if they do.. initiate 1-on-1 chat.
I've seen it done on faceparty.com which I believe uses DigiChat (java).
Unfortunately it's too expensive to purchase so I wish to develop a
simplistic version of IM for use on my site.
My main problem is, I cannot seem to work out how faceparty.com prompts the
other user if they wish to chat.. the page does not refresh, it has some
javascript embedded in there but I cannot find anything relevant to
prompting the user that another user has requested a chat session.
Does anyone have any ideas how its done? I am bamboozled.
Cheers,
Peter. |
