I looked at this a while ago, not worth the time and effort, doesn't work all that well.

If you want a facebook type footer chat you'll have to go to http://www.cometchat.com/

I know it's not free but it's the best you're going to find. There's really no decent free chat scripts of this nature around. Even if you do find a free one, it won't be scalable, it will only handle maybe 25 users at a time and then it will crash, to be scalable for a lot of users it will require push server technology which cometchat now offers.

Thank you maverick,
it seems that www.cometchat.com is the best available footer chat. i have just took a look at their website, they have ready integration plugins for many cms scripts. i have sent them a message &
they have told me that although they haven't a ready integration plugin for  etano but they can integrate it for me.

it's too bad that they don't have a ready plugin to try it out.
