Thanks for this code. Originally I wanted a java applet that would interface with the web server (no servlets), but this will suit my needs just fine.

One customization I did was integrating it as a forum. I didn't want it at the top of every page. Instead I wanted it listed under the forums list and protected with the same permission attributes as the other forums in the members only section.

I made a new style set and edited the forumdisplay template that shows only the chat box about 400 pixels in height and along with the standard header and footer. I created a new forum called chat and assigned the new style set to it. Then I put all the shoutbox code in the forumdisplay.php instead of the index.php.

Works great! Thanks!
