the correct HTML DOM base tags for a chat script

[ben.ha...@gmail.com]

Does anyone know what the best DOM class would be for a chat mechanism?
I'm looking for the correct way to start a chat mechanism. Can it be
done with text area as a form or should I try to implement it with a
table and the DOM. Any advice?

I made a _really_ trivial chat client, wound up at about 50 lines of
javascript (using MochiKit).

my "output" was just a div with overflow: auto;

Input was a normal <input type="text">

The whole thing worked pretty well.

If you want, I could probably dig up the code and send it as an example
