web-based messenger : is it possible?

I was wondering if it was possible to make a very simple web-based version of msn messenger, using seperate pop-up windows for private chat and the main page to list users on line etc...is this possible? Maybe using ActiveX or Javascript - I've no real knowledge of the SDK or API or much programming in general when it comes to XML docs....

If it is, does anyone have a basic listing of links that would be able to help me get started (im not interested in making it complex, id just like a friends list, whos online and private chat popups)

If anyone could even post some simple info or how to create relevant links on the fly (ie the link format & returned variables etc) info i'd love you forever (not in that way, unless ur a very hot woman)!

Thanx - RipX

It's certainly possible, take a look at webmessenger.msn.com and e-messenger.net for examples. However, unfortunately there's no official API to do anything like this. The websites mentioned above communicate directly with the messenger servers using raw protocol data, which is not officially supported by Microsoft.
