Suggestions for a IRC client implementation on Web platforms

Question

Hello guys, I want to put an IRC client in my webpage. I know there are many clients but not opensource ones (I didn't find any). So, do you know some free and open source projects to implement an irc client on a webpage?

And what do you suggests in term of implementation? I mean is it a good idea to have one made in flash?, one made in html5?, one made in javascript/php?. Thank you for your answers.

Answer 1

This one is an open source client: http://xchat.org/

Answer 2

I would use Java (not Javascript) or an ActiveX. Web pages are too static to serve as a good way of using IRC. You might be able to pull it off with some jquery, but I would advise using java or an ActiveX.

Answer 3

If you don't want to use mibbit directly then you can at least steal some of the ideas.

Answer 4

If you don't mind installing a little server-side code, take a look at the qwebirc project. This is what Freenode uses for it's web-based chat client.
