i'm still new to the php development, so i was just wondering if anyone could help me.
i have a chat website using the ajaxim and the main index was all blank. Since that it's ran by ajax and js code, i don't where should i put the content to make it look like a website. please check <snipped url> to see what i am trying to say.
Plus i want to insert more smilies and develop more scripts in the php but i can't seem to find where should i put what.
Like adding avatars, webcam and audio plug in and more.
I tried sendind the developer a mail but no reply from them.
Also, they said you can integrate this to a social networking site, I have an open source program though how can i integrae the two to make the chat work as it is and the main window of the website, where my logo lies appear as a web page.
i hope someone can help me out with this.

It's hard to say why the main index was blank. If you got error messages in the browser, those should help point you in the right direction if it's a JavaScript issue. If not, it might be with the PHP scripts. Check your apache error log for hints that direction.
As far as all the features you want to add, each of those could be a significant amount of effort requiring quite a bit of experience with PHP, browser plug-ins and more. In other words, it's not the sort of thing that just takes a few lines of code to implement. (Adding more smilies is about the only thing you are looking to do that should be a simple modification of existing code.)
The other integrations will be quite complex and should be tackled on their own. For someone new to this sort of work, you could easily spend a year or more learning everything you'll need to do all of it.
I don't mean to discourage you, we all started where you are now. But you should now what you're getting yourself into. :)
