Check this out :chat.
I think it is developed in Java and i heard that its quite easy to install it on your website.

I am sorry I didn't mentioned the technology. I am using only PHP, JavaScript and MySql. I would like to have chat application with PHP, AJAX, Jquery and MySql.

Depend on what type of chat you like.
For a simple live chat (one room, everybody talk) you could use a javascript interval to get the data every X seconds via ajax

setInterval(function()

{

     $('#chatWindow').load('chat.php');

}, 3000);

and on chat.php simply fetch the chat log from mysql
This exemple use jquery, but you could change it for an other library, or write your own ajax call

But if their a lot of person at the same time, this can overload your server.

You could think of someway like with session, to load only the new text, and not all the conversation, it could help the server
