Javascript

[MadGamer]

Hi, i want to add a link so that people can chat to me via MSN Messenger. I want to add this link on my website but only know basic coding. I don't know how to write javascript in html.

Can someone please help me?

Thanks

Try this

<a href="javascript:MsgrApp.LaunchIMUI('wayneaustin96@hotmail.com')">Click this</a>

...but without those underscores

That's not going to work on it's own, it'll just throw up javascript errors, my IE is going spastic at the moment so this isn't working for me, but if someone else could test it.

<html>
<body>
<object classid="clsid:F3A614DC-ABE0-11d2-A441-00C04F795683"
codebase="#Version=2,0,0,83" codetype=application/x-oleobject id=MsgrObj
width=0 height=0>
</object>
<OBJECT classid="clsid:FB7199AB-79BF-11d2-8D94-0000F875C541"
codeType=application/x-oleobject id=MsgrApp width=0
height=0></OBJECT>
<font face="Arial" size="2"><b>
<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript"> 
<!-- 
function stopError() { return true; } 
window.onerror = stopError; 
// -->
</script>
<a href=javascript:MsgrApp.LaunchAddContactUI("youremailaddresshere")>
Click here to add this user to your msn</a>
<a id=�lll� href=javascript:MsgrApp.LaunchIMUI("youremailaddresshere")>
Click here to chat to this user on msn</a>
</body>
</html>

...or click on your Messanger icon, right-click on the pop-up and then select 'View Source'. You'll just need to work out which bits you need and which you can leave out.

The 'View Source' facility is very useful for learning HTML.

Yes but it's not very good for PHP.

As far as I know the PHP only populates the email address from the forum database.
