Not really a programming question, but Mibbit is quite capable, I've used it for a few different applications, it's always worked well.

Note that it will work best if your channel is on one of the networks listed here that support WEBIRC.

I have seen these before, but I have never really liked them. I think the best overall one was Mibbit. I think the best way to go about it would be to ask the user to install a client and use the irc:// linking syntax to launch a native client.

A commonly used open source platform is QwebIRC. In python with a javascript frontend, but has all sorts of packaging issues. KiwiIRC seems really interesting but I haven't tried it yet so I can't vouch for it. KiwiIRC is all javascript. Both can be embeded in an iframe or something similar.
