How do I add a link on my website for users to contact me via my AOL AIM Account? I know I have had this setup in the past where I just display a link they click, without the user having aim installed where they can chat with me.

<a href="aim:GoIm?screenname=myscreenname&message=hello">send an instant message

Wow nice one :) I also needed this link urgently. Big thanks.

That is not working for me. I got that from the developers site..

I have
<a href="aim:GoIm?screenname=MyAim&message=hello">AIm</a>

You must have AIM installed to use AIM....or tell your users to use AIM Express. Better yet, get a real chatroom.

I thought there was a way to avoid it.. But maybe not.. I have a chatroom but wanted a simple way for some people to get ahold of me on the fly from like internet cafe's via aol

Well then have them use the chatroom....if you want to use AIM you must have AIM installed :rolleyes:

Yea, in order to use that code above for an IM you do need to have AIM installed. Its not possible for someone to IM you if they dont have AIM/ICQ.

Ok i was mistaken. It is yahoo messenger that you can integrate into your website without the client having it installed on thier pc.
