AJAX Chat Standalone

====================



This is the standalone version of Blueimp's AJAX Chat. If you are looking for a version to integrate with your forum, select a different branch.



AJAX stands for "Asynchronous JavaScript and XML".

The AJAX Chat clients (the user browsers) use JavaScript to query the web server for updates.

Instead of delivering a complete HTML page only updated data is sent in XML format. 



By using JavaScript the chat page can be updated without having to reload the whole page.
