Ajax Chatting

Another Geek Alert
Looks like I'm geeking out these days. I just implemented my first AJAX mini web application. You can help me test it if I'm online. Just go to this page, and I may be online. Or it may not work at all.
It's a simple multi-user web chat room that uses asynchronous background requests (so it doesn't have to reload a page or use a hidden iframe like my previous web communications stuff used). I need to make it look better (it's ugly looking right now) and get it to work on more browsers.
The PHP and JavaScript source code is available here.
Whee, fun!
Update: Over the following weekend, I improved a few things, including the layout, handling window resizing, etc. It seems to work all right under Firefox and MSIE on Windows, and with Firefox and Safari on the Mac (the versions I have access to, at least), but Opera seems to have a bit of trouble still.
