Gmail Like Chat With jQuery
Gmail chat is a nice feature of Gmail. If you are thinking to create a gmail like chat for your web application, you do not need to worry. Although chat is a complex task but there are some availbale scripts which are easy to use and integrate. In this post, I am adding a free chat script that works similar to Gmail Chat. See the snapshot to know how to it works on web pages.
This script has following features:
- Gmail style bottom right display of chat boxes
- Keeps chat boxes open and stores state (data) even when pages are browsed/refreshed similar to Facebook
- Displays “Sent at…” after 3 minutes of inactivity
- Displays “X says…” & blinks chat boxes when window is not in focus
- Minimize and close chat boxes
- Auto-resize of text input box
- Auto-scrolling of chat text
- Auto-back-off polling policy (hits the server less-often when chat activity is low)
- Extremely simple to integrate into existing site
