Ajax Chat front end supporting IRC backend

I am looking for an ajax web chat solution that supports IRC back end. Basically I have my own IRC server. I want to configure an ajax web chat solution to connect to it. I found tons of ajax web chat solution in Google. But none (except mibbit which is not opensource) matches my criteria.

Do you know of any? If not found I might write one. But I dont want to go to that route.

There is Atheme's Iris that might fit the bill.

In answer to your question, I do not know of any. However, I can explain how to implement one: you should be able to take any frontend to any web-based chat client (for example's sake, let's say PHP backend/Javascript frontend), keep it intact, and then modify the backend to suit your needs. If you can find a well-written chat script, you should be able to implement the interfaces it already uses for its own custom chat implementation, which might consist of something like:

interface Chattable
{
  function connectToChatDaemon($ip, $channel);
  function listen();
  function proxyMessageFromClient($message);
  function sendMessageToClient($blah);
}

and then re-implement it for IRC! Good luck (:
