I am looking for a JavaScript IRC client [closed]

Question

http://sourceforge.net/projects/jisirc/ is exactly what I need, only problem is it has multiple ActiveX dependencies and that will not do. Does anyone know of any similar projects which are more portable?

Answer 1

You will have to have dependencies to an external application in order to open a socket towards the IRC server.

• It can be dependent on the browser architecture (ActiveX controls, Mozilla based, ...)

• Dependent on a java applet (in this case the irc server should be run on the same host the javascript originates from (unless you go towards signed applets))

• The "real" IRC client is running on server-side, and the script is only used to communicate with that client.

In DmitryK's list you will find an example for each.
