Lace is a free Ajax chat application that allows you to set up a chat on your website.  It takes advantage of Ajax (XMLHttpRequest) if present, and degrades gracefully if it is not.  Live demo is available at http://socket7.net/lace/demo .

Lace is a full-featured chat, which provides various useful options, including logs and the ability to show user join and name change messages.  This week the application was accepted as an official add-on for the Vanilla PHP-based forum application.

Free download at http://socket7.net/lace/ .
