Hi, I’m creating my online resume, and I want to make my MSN Messenger screen name on the bottom a clickable link so they can just click and MSN Messenger opens ready to go. I have already figured out how to do this with Yahoo, AIM, and ICQ, and now I’m stuck on MSN. Does anyone know how to construct such a URL? For example, I would do “ymsgr:SendIM?screen_name” in my anchor tag to send a message to
. Any help is appreciated. Thanks! Unfortunately, there is no easy way to do this, such as a using a URL like you can with Yahoo. The closest thing to it is using some API MSN Messenger exposes with VBScript, which limits it to only work in Internet Explorer. It is basically the same method Hotmail uses to intergrate into Messenger, take a look at some code samples here: http://forums.msnfanatic.com/index.php?showtopic=9916
Basically you would use some code like this (inside a function):
Code:dim MsngrObj
set MsngrObj = CreateObject(“MSNMessenger.HotmailControl”)
MsngrObj.InstantMessage(“bob@hotmail.com”)duphus wrote:Unfortunately, there is no easy way to do this, such as a using a URL like you can with Yahoo.

Crud. Well thanks anyway. I try to stay away from using IE only browser code, so people who want to contact me via MSN will just have to do it the old fashioned way. Thanks!
