Can somebody please explain exactly how a simple ASP chat room works?

From the connection to the holding variables and stuff?

Thanks

Blimey

Usually there's a database behind it so it consists of pages to pull the data out of the database and format it appropriately.

The input side is simply a set of forms that capture the data and then insert it into the database.

Here endeth today's massive oversimplificiation

thats a forum tho isn't it Ted? A chat room is an entirely different beast.

www.aspin.com/home/community/chatroom is a good place to start and have a play, you'd also do well to look through the documentation/actual notes comments for an idea of how it works.
