Tim, ,----- [ ] | Rather than building a chat feature from scratch, I'm interested in | using AOL Messenger's chat room facility (or similar). Is there a | way to have a link on a web page that points to a chat room analogous | to how a mailto points to an email address? | | Thanks. | | | | | | | Clarifications: | | None | | | | | | Solutions: | | | | Mon, 3 Mar 2003 10:38pm previous next | | From: SMirick | To: dfs | Public Solution Paid: $3.85 plus tip $2.00 | Easy enough - just add the following HTML to your web page: | | <a href="aim:gochat?roomname=ROOMNAME">ROOMNAME</a> | | and you should be all set. Here are some other things you can do with hyperlinks and AIM: | | Opens a new IM window | <a href="aim:goim">link</a> | | Opens a new IM window with a screen name | <a href="aim:goim?screenname=SCREENNAME">link</a> | | Opens a new IM window with a screen name and a message | <a href="aim:goim?screenname=SCREENNAME&message=MESSAGE">link</a> | | Opens the "Add Buddy" window with a screen name to add | <a href="aim:addbuddy?screenname=SCREENNAME">link</a> | | Opens the "Add Buddy" window with a screen and a group name to add | <a href="aim:addbuddy?screenname=SCREENNAME&groupname=GROUPNAME">link</a> | | To change someone's buddy icon when they click on the link | <a href="aim:buddyicon?src=BUDDYICONURL">link</a> | | To open or receive someone's shared files | <a href="aim:getfile?screenname=SCREENNAME">link</a> | | Hope that helps. | | Fri, 28 Feb 2003 5:20pm previous next | | From: Scratch | To: dfs | Solution Paid: $1.15 | Yes sure. Please try next statment to have a chat: | | <a href="aol://3548:Raatt" target="_top"> Come to me! :) </a> | | Another way it is a wabbased AOL chat. `-----
