I wouldn't recommend having an PHP chat like that. I made one myself,
http://lodire.com/ username: test password: test (ignore any errors this version is old) It goes slow and I wouldn't like to see 200 people using it at the same time as that would be a huge strain on the server. With some reasearch I've found something called twisted,
http://twistedmatrix.com/trac/ . Twisted is written in Python a much more stable language than PHP. Twisted nearly stops all buffer overflow and will pretty much never crash! NEVER! This means you can nearly have a limitless timeout on your ajax.. Meaning the chat will go really fast rather than slow like when using PHP. Try
http://omegle.com/ it uses twisted aswell. That's how fast you can get your web based chat to go XD.

Those "strangers" are computer-controlled chat bots, right? Or did it just connect me to an unnamed human?

Okay, i've found one that works alright. Tho i have one bug. if i have long word the div conatainer f*cks up.
In IE the div becomes super long, and in chrome the text continues outside the div. And i have set a max-width.
So how can i do so that, if a word is to long, it continues to the next line instead?
Or is there any other way to fix this?
