Forum:Embedding a Chat Client - is it possible?

Is it possible to use the  tag or even the   tag to embed a chatroom into our wikia pages? I have a chatroom given to me from XAT.com I created so that users of the wikia its intended for could all chat together. The company the chatroom is from specifically intends the chatroom to be embedded on other sites and even tells you the code for embedding it. When I put that code in a forum header it worked fine, but when I pasted it into my wikia space instead of the chatroom I see the code displayed out.

I checked the help files (and you have no idea how long it took me to find an itty bitty paragraph amongst hundreds of help articles.. furthermore the article was not even about the embed tag!) but all the help file says is  (proprietary) Calls a plug-in handler for the type specified by the type attribute. Used for embedding Flash files, sound files, etc. This is a proprietary Netscape extension to HTML;  is the W3C standard method.

After reading that I tried switching the word embed for object but the chat client still refuses to show up on my wikia.. what am I doing wrong..? Or has embedding not been enabled for wikia's..? If it hasn't is there any other way I can make the chat client work for members of my wikia without having to leave the wikia front-page itself..? --87.118.140.21 06:42, 9 April 2008 (UTC)
