History of ChatterboxPackage

chatterbox is a very simple package that allows users to chat with each other using an ajax based approach.

this package could be expanded to provide a live support mechanism. the fact that all chat messages can be logged might be particularly useful for this use.

This package takes advantage of the ((PrototypeDocumentation||prototype)) library, which has recently been added to bitweaver.

to add some better styling to chatterbox, you can use something like this in your css file:
{code source=CSS}
/* chatterbox */
.chatterbox .chathistory span.username {color:#f60;}
.chatterbox .body .userslist,
.chatterbox .body .chathistory {height:50em; border:1px solid #999;}
.chatterbox .body .chathistory ul {line-height:1em;}
.chatterbox .body .chathistory span.date {float:left;}
.chatterbox .body .chathistory span.username {display:block; width:100px; padding:0 10px 0 0; float:left; text-align:right;}
{/code}
