Add me as Contact from my Blog by DuGi on 07-25-2006 at 01:18 PM

Hallo everyone,

Have one simply question. Sometime ago I saw a website, where the person had a Messenger icon with a ordinary <a> link. But this actually added the owner of the blog to my personal messenger - if you know what I mean.

Sadly, the blog is closed - so I can't so the link.

Therefore my question to you guys - does anyone know this method or link? And is it possible to make it work in Firefox too, cause I'd only worked with Internet Explorer.

- DuGi

I think it's the 'msnim:' protocol, which is IE-only, unless there's a Firefox extension for it now. I don't know the format though, sorry.

You need <a href="msnim:add?contact=typeaddresshere"></a>
It doesnt work with firefox though.

Or alternately you could use firefox and make it browser independent, like this forum does ;)

It still requires scripting to be turned on, and for scripts to use ActiveX.

Edit: Tested the forum's method, and it don't work in Firefox.
