Is there any websocket plugin for IE?

Solution 1
One of the fallbacks used by socket.io is the flash one: gimite/web-socket-js.
It uses flash to establish a socket connection. Because of this you can get WebSocket support on pretty much any legacy platform, since they all have flash.
Solution 2
There is no native WS support until Internet Explorer 10. However, you might consider using a JavaScript library such as Socket.IO, which can be used for cross-browser WebSockets support.

leggetter about 12 years@igorw - Your comment correctly answers this question. web-socket.js provides a native WebSocket interface within the web page runtime. Please post your comment as an answer and I'll vote it up.
