Chatzilla - Definition and Overview

ChatZilla is an IRC client for Mozilla browsers written in XUL and JavaScript.

It is designed to run on any platform on which Mozilla runs, such as Mac OS, Linux, Microsoft Windows, Solaris, Irix, BeOS, HP-UX, OS/2, and BSD. It currently supports most features of IRC clients. Messages are styled using Cascading Style Sheets, which means that the style of the client can be easily changed, including one that places photographs next to the names of users who speak in the channel. Features such as DCC, which allows users to transfer files between each other, are now supported. Work on ChatZilla progresses, and ChatZilla is currently included with the Mozilla browser as well as being available for Mozilla Firefox as an optional extension. It's also available in a standalone version which runs in XULRunner.
