There was WebMessenger working like this.
I still got the last OpenSource version before they went commercial.

Bur guess what.. You don't really need any server-side support ;-)
Check out http://jwchat.sourceforge.net/ - pure JavaScript full Jabber client.
And it really works. :-)

True. Specs are really hard tu understand until you grasp the whole concept.
There is a way though... Read the whole. You don't really get it at
the begining, but when you reach the end you know enough to read it
once again with ful enlightenment. :-)

There was some good documents at http://docs.jabber.org/ explaining
basic concepts of Jabber that would help. But they were taken down. I
guess because they were really old and outdated and explained the old
Jabber protocol that is somewhat different to the new XMPP.
