Q: 

How to create a simple browser-based IRC client?

I want to implement a chat service on my site, and wonder how to create a simple browser-based IRC client from scratch?

I have a linux box and can install whatever I want on it. Google finds tutors on how to setup an IRC server but no instructions on how to create an IRC client.

(As client languages, I can use JavaScript or Flash.)
