I'm sorta new at all this java stuff. I've put a few java SCRIPTS (client side stuff) on a few pages in my day, but as far as putting script on the server side, I'm a complete virgin.
I have a website (www.starfrontiers.com) and have a "Live Chat" section that I'm using for online role-playing in the old-school paper & pencil variety. I currently have a button and a text box... when I click the button it puts a random number between 1 and 100 in the text box... that part is simple. The "live chat" I'm using is actually a link to a remotely hosted chat server (AddOnChat) and that works quite well.
BUT...
I want to change things. 1) I want to have a locally-hosted chat server on my site, a simple one that doesn't need avatars or emoticons or anything complicated. 2) I want to have that pushbutton put the result in the chat box "[username] rolls d100: 53" or similar.
Anyone have a solution that already exists? Or do I have to learn lots of Java Scripting and learn how to do this myself? :(
