where people can just come along, add their name and type messages for future visitors to the site

I just want a simple one, they seem to be advanced php

 

You can't do it just from the front end. In order for posted comments and messages to be shared they have to be stored on the server in either files of a daytabase, and you cannot do that without server side scripting like PHP. What you want is not trivial, and if you are looking for something easy then you will not find down the road you are going.

 

I used to have one before which just split the screen into 2 parts, the first part, copied the message onto the top of a .txt file, and the 2nd part just displayed the .txt file

And there you go, Carl05. A text file, like a database, acting as a storage container for messages displayed in the shoutbox.

*edit:words hard are

 

@Carl05 Hi The best chat program I used is Olark.com it can easily be added . You need to just put some code in footer part of your website. Also there is various option to customize it.

 

I've recently come across such a chat, probably this is what you are looking for - https://iflychat.com/ I never used it myself, but it looks simple and neat at first glance.
