If you're on PHP, do this.  Include this wherever you need to include
the widget withing the page.  Note that time() will calculate whatever
time your server is set to so make sure you know that.

detect the time with time() function;
assign a variable to time $time = time();
$refdeskopentime = (this is a timestamp of when the desk opens each
day).  I woud use mktime() to construct this.
$refeeskclosetime = the opposite of open time: it's the closing time.
//the function to display it:
//yourfilename would reference the file which contains the meebo <div>
element.
if ($time >= $refdeskopentime && $time < $refdeskclosetime){
include('yourfilename.php');
}

questions?
