Website communicating with Chatspace Chat Server?

I recently got myself a website for my Chatspace chat server, and Ive been thinking of a few things I could put on the website that could spruce it up a bit. Is there a way to make a website communicate with the chat server to display the number of users on the server, or send a command to the server?

I found out how to get the stats, now I just need some html code that will display the text on this page http://207.150.169.98:8000/membership/users.html

That page shows the exact ammount of users on the server in numbers
example: 6

it will show the number 6 only. I just need whatever numbers on that page displayed on my index page

Unless you are using server-side scripting then you would need to use a Frame/Iframe which would not be good.

Server-side scripting means PHP, PERL or ASP.

can I change the text and background color of the frame? The text on the page is just black letters.

No, you cannot do anything with that page as it is already created.
