I guess you mean a shoutbox.  If you're unable or willing to learn PHP/Perl/ASP, then there's no need to reinvent the wheel.  Google "shoutbox script" and you will find lots of free scripts that you can use to do this.  You will need a web server/host that provides PHP/Perl/ASP as the case may be.  You're most likely to find PHP scripts.

Note: you cannot do this with plain HTML - you need a program running at the web server end.

This would be a brilliant little project for you to try and acheive yourself if you wanted to learn php/mysql.

Even though you already have what you wanted from google, i'd say have ago at designing your own. Much more rewarding than just grabbing a pre-made script
