prompting an Instant messenger - UGN Security Forum

Does anyone know how to make a button open an IM dialog box, so that someone could send me an IM by clicking on a button on my site??

Thanks

To have them open an im dialog box:

Code

<a href="aim:goim?screenname=[yourscreenname]&message=[message+to+send+them]">Click here to IM Me</a>.

To have it so that they can add you to their buddy list:

Code

<a href="aim:addbuddy?screenname=[yourscreenname]">Click here to add me to your Buddy List</a>.

To join your aim chat:

Code

<a href="aim:gochat?roomname=[yournickname]+Chat">Click here to join my Chat Room</a>.

Just take out the brackets and all theil have to do is click the links (if they have AIM or something compatable).

Thanks! Have any idea of how to get this to work on Trillian?

I think that trillian will actually read the aim: code, but I can't gaurentee it.

trillian does claim to pick up on aim: code... but since ive had trillian it's never actually worked..

and yes i do have the option enabled in trillian heh

Same here, never gotten it to work. And I've read a couple articles on it but still no luck

yeh well trillian still needs a lotta work lol...

Tril sux0rz my nutz0rz. Go AIM 2.3 or whatever the version was before 5!
