This file defines a Javascript function that calls the pjirc client to
access the #twosheds channel on the irc.webmaster.com IRC server.
The user is prompted to enter a nickname before they are connected.
Call this with a construct like this ...
TwoSheds Live Chat
TwoSheds Live Chat
Because these functions always return "false" the actual value of the
href="" is ignored.
The parms on twoshedsChat() are the server name, the channel name, the
user's nickname and the url of a help file. If you leave them blank, then the
server defaults to "irc.webmaster.com" and the channel to "#twosheds" respectively.
You'll be prompted for the nickname. The help file used will be
http://www.twosheds.com/chatClient/ircHelp.html.
See readme.txt and pixx-readme.txt for the available applet param settings.
