There are many of them out there,

Buttt.... I have been trying obviously unsucessfully to get the message across that due to Microsoft's legal agreement with Java
originator Sun Microsytems Microsoft will no longer be including the MJVM (Microsoft Java Virtual Machine) in any more issues of
Windows (beyond XP) as I found out after installing XP Media Center Edition on my new-build desktop 'puter.
So in that case it matters not a fig what Java applet one tries to utilise.
I have now (for the purpose of trying out other Java applets not conncted with chat) installed the equivalent Java Runtime Environment from Sun and as I had anticipated it is a damn sight longer winded and time consuming than the very easy acquisition then install of mIRC
Here is my message earlier today to my earlier Friday chat topic at:-
http://www.corfid.com/ubb/ultimatebb...c;f=1;t=003574
Meanwhile this evening chat at 9pm EST
using the buttons on:-
http://www.johnfowles.org.uk/lightfoot/chat/
using mIRC (red button)
or for those who still have a Java Virtual Machine installed the Blue button
or to check out mIRC the green button

I looked at Paltalk today but that is Java based as is the chat facility built into Yahoo groups
I know the very first Lightfoot chat rooms were set up by those fans on AOL usin erly versions of AIM as the "geodeticman" here is well aware.
but to my mind having to be invited in would be a backward step and an unecessary complication.
My favourite plan having seen chatzy in action and realising that it was possible to set up an IRC independant private chat that would be 100% based on my own web site using Javascript (where Javascript confusingly has nothing directly to do with Java other than sharing the first 4 letters) would be to find such a Javascript, which has proved difficult so far.
I thought I had found the ideal script at
http://www.qwadchat.com as per my 2 screenshots displayed earlier
but have yet to confirm that it will work reliably.Have you any experience of Javascript rooms?
That way would avoid the twin problems of Jsva and people's reluctance to get to grips with mIRC
and as evinced by brink distrust in it
I was especially interested in the qwadchat script because, as I demonstrated by displaying my own picture in the chat panel, it is possible
to use HTML and one of my ambitions is to get more friends using HTML
