This project is to fix about 30 (approx.) bugs, and implement some missing features, in an Ajax-based chat room for php/mysql. The Ajax chat system is actually a "skin" for FlashChat, which you can read more about at [login to view URL] Thus, you will only be debugging the Ajax skin, NOT the "core" FlashChat system (that is already fairly well-debugged). This project was started by a RAC developer, but due to personal problems he was unable to finish the project. I estimate that he completed about 70% of the Ajax skin. Fortunately, he was able to create a PDF document showing how the code works (to "help out" any new developers that I hire). I've created a lot of screenshots in the "RAC_to_do" folder that shows the bugs that should be fixed, and features that remain to be implemented. I need to have a true javascript/ajax "guru" for this project! Please do not bid unless you have extensive experience in this area. Essentially, the goal of this project is to make this Ajax skin "production ready" so that I can confidently release it to the entire FlashChat community.

The list of bugs for this Ajax/chat project has been updated... some bugs have been fixed by me, but there are a few others that I didn't notice before.
I believe that the quantity of work for this project is about the same as before, but please review the new .zip attachment for this project fully to be sure. You should adjust your bid, if needed.
If you believe that a higher bid $ is necessary, let me know and I'll consider raising the bid ceiling.
## Platform
