Hi All!
Just wanted to know if anyone knows how to make a link on a web page to start ichat with me. I have seen this on a page, but cannot for the life of me remember where.

So, on my page, I want to have an ichat icon that initiates the other users ichat (or other chat agent) to send me an instant message/initiate chat.

Any takers?

Cheers

That would be:

<a href="aim:goim?screenname=sandsl">iChat With Me</a>

You can also include a message using:

<a href="aim:goim?screenname=sandsl&message=Hi">iChat With Me 2</a>

More here, although I haven't tested these with ichat.

Nasrudin sat on a river bank when someone shouted to him from the opposite side: "Hey! how do I get across?" "You are across!" Nasrudin shouted back.
