Should help you out I hope


Wasn't awfully difficult to source either

Method:

Step one: Enter google.com.au in internet browsing client of choice
Step two: use msn messenger add contact html hyperlink code? as search 
query


Was first result, could have even gone: I'm Feeling Lucky on that one 
;-)



good luck!

   Anyways with the growing demand of IM's I want to add to my site 
easy access for people contact me.  I could add my Yahoo! username 
for Yahoo! Messenger and MSN Messenger email address but I want to 
make it easier for people to add me, most people won't bother doing 
it the long way.
   So want I want to do is store my id's to a DB than run a query to 
fetch the id required than output a hyperlink to the user to add me. 
When they click the hyperlink it will automatically detect if they 
have got that Messenger system on their system and if logged in I 
will be added to the list.  If not logged in or have the Messenger 
than it will display a error.
   Is there a way to DETECT if they have Yahoo! or MSN Messengter 
installed?


You could through activex or possibly a java applet, but not with php 
or javascript.

Missed that part...

That won't tell you what a person has installed on their computer, but
I guess you could put both msn  yahoo links on your site and the
person can click the right one...

Yes thats what I do, as was mentioned actually detecting their client is 
much more of a process, involving actual interaction with client browser 
software/modules, therefore requiring so many conditions to be met, 
correct browser type/version, security controls set to allowable level, 
messenging client in question is actually running and installed as 
expected by your script, and then of course actually writing this script 
to check for it.


All sounds like too much for as far as I am concerned, if a user can't 
choose between two or three possible supported messenger clients than 
they shouldn't have access to a digital instrument such as computer. I 
hate illiterate computer consumers [yes, not users, consumers, they only 
become users once they realise you don't NEED a mouse to operate a 
computer NOR do you refer to the case of a computer as a modem)


Anyway, rant aside... toodles!
