Hello! I came here a little bit earlier asking about Ajax. I had another question, How does gmail have the little window chat? How can I add that? JQuery? CSS?

@user2162942 add that? do you mean you want to embed Gmail's own chat window, or you want to implement something that behaves similarly?

Implement something similar.

@user2162942 by asking "JQuery? CSS?" I can tell you do not have a very thorough knowledge of the web platform and its architecture... you should really learn that first... you should be able to explain to me in a couple of sentences the role or purpose of: HTML, JavaScript, CSS, and web servers, and how each one relates to each of the others... if you can't do that, you need to be able to do that first.
CSS just controls layout; the appearance of the page
JQuery is a library of useful JavaScript functions built on top of the core JavaScript
they couldn't possibly be more unrelated
