A channel is the part of a server where users may talk in a many-to-many manner. ChanServ usually takes care of channel management, but there might be a few servers without it. Channels can have modes, and there is a URI Parameter for both the widget and the main client.

URI Parameter

As a URI Parameter, this is a necessary parameter for widgets. The most basic form is:

&channel=%23channelName

The '%23' is the URL Escape code for a '#'. If multiple channels wish to be used, add a comma at the end of the channel name, and place another one. This form looks like:

&channel=%23channelName,%23otherChannelName

In the [widget], this parameter tells the widget which channels to join after connecting to the server. In the [main client], this parameter fills out the server connection form for easier server connections.
