This is a great idea. I had dropped DigiChat and started to go with JPilot because of one main thing...I could not tell my users who was in the chat room in real time. It caused people not to use it.
Now I see some problems with your hack:
It only checks to see if a user visited the "Chat Load Applet Page" in the last 15 minutes then removes them.
So if the user stays in the chat room past 15 minutes of his login...they are removed from the "Currently in the chat room list"....this is not acceptable in my book.
Don't get me wrong I'm not being ungrateful...I think you have a great start here.
Here is soem ideas to solve this. What if we opened a pop-up window that had frames...and Frame A housed the chat applet, while frame B housed the script to check to see if the user is still in the chat FRAMES???
Would that work?
