Really great work.
I was wondering if you've thought of a way to make it so the chat doesn't close when changing pages. Maybe some type of iframe would work? Ideally, if the chat is open you would want to be able to surf the site without it reloading on page reloads or having to reclick the button to expand it again. If you come up with anything, i'd love to see a comment or post about it.
Again, really work and keep it up! Once my site goes live i'll post it as another demonstration.

Apart from its notorious name, iframe would be the easiest way to go, I guess. But since I never reverse engineer from the very beginning, I can't explore any further :)
In my first facebook-like chat post series, I suggested using jquery.cookie, instead. Please tell us when you have it set up correctly. Thanks.

In case anyone is wondering... you need to be sure to add the regions of a custom theme too.
This should go into yourtheme.info: regions[header] = "Header" regions[left] = "Left sidebar" regions[right] = "Right sidebar" regions[content] = "Content" regions[footer] = "Footer" regions[dockbottom_first] = dock bottom first regions[dockbottom_middle] = dock bottom middle regions[dockbottom_last] = dock bottom last
I noticed that IE has a few issues with the CSS that requires tweaking... otherwise Gaus thanks for the awesome tutorial. I'd be more than willing to help out if that alright. I've implemented this with the access permissions and user relationships module and its perfect.

Hi, thanks for clarifying things.
I have stopped bothering about IE6 since microsoft announced they wouldn't support it anymore :) IE6 never supports fixed position, so you need absolute position with a little javascript. I have a working example with fixed position for IE6 here. Only the top banner works in IE6, though.
I'll be glad to hear if you come up with a better solution so others can benefit as well. Thanks

Unless you or I miss the obvious, this indeed works al local as you see from the screenshot and the meebo version. What seems to be the problem? What not work? Can you be more specific to help me spot the problem? Thanks
