you can add/replace html page parts by id or class name via javascript & jquery.
css should be a separate file(s).

here is a example with a replace but you can also add new content.
it calls a url and the return is new content as example someone answered.
myself used a database to chat also offline. (web hosting with mysql & php)

you can use a html template having an div with a specific id that will contain chat messages.

Now you can use any websocket library like mqtt, socket.io, websocket etc to get real-time data.

So when you get any new message you can add that message using JavaScript append function.
