Hello folks I wrote an IRC (Internet Relay Chat) *client* that runs within your web browser in 2001. It's mostly (96%) written in HTML & JavaScript with a tiny Java applet (4KB). Recently started to working on it again. It requires a web browser with - Java enabled - JavaScript enabled - LiveConnect support - Popup windows enabled (i thought popup windows were OK back in 2001) Project home page: http://sourceforge.net/projects/loqirc/ Screen shots: http://loqirc.sourceforge.net/screenshots/index.html The project - was my 1st project using both JavaScript and Java, so some code is truly awful. - Initial quick & dirty implementation was done in an hour. - The first release version was done in a week (perhaps 20 man-hours). then again i had not touched it until 2005. FAQ There are CGI:IRC and PJIRC. Weren't you satisfied with them? Why did you spend/waste your time to do this? - cgi:irc or similar server-based IRC were/are not responsive. - applets were slow(er) to load and not so responsive (back in 2001 on my pc). - It just hit my mind. - was fun What could Loq do? - connect to IRC server - /list, /query, /join, /part, /quit, /kick, /topic How big is Loq? - approx 110KB (HTML+JS) + 4KB (Applet) - approx 3360 lines of JavaScript, 860 lines of HTML, 180 lines of Java Supported Web Browsers? - MS Internet Explorer. probably ver 5.0+ - Mozilla Firefox. Mac OS X version needs Java Embedding Plugin (http://javaplugin.sourceforge.net/ ) which enables LiveConnect. - Apple Safari. It's web core is kHTML. Loq caused my web browser to crash. Why? - Your web browser has bug Give me more Qs. Thank you. Regards, Jeong-Yun
