the aim:goim? or any other similar related commands use a different protocol, the aim: protocol. regular websites use the http: protocol.

It's up to the AIM client on the user's computer to register the aim: protocol with itself. If it doesn't, it won't work on that person's computer.

So, if something goes wrong when you click on the link, that means something happened with their AIM installation, or they're using a different AIM client that doesn't register the aim: protocol.

Or maybe just something messed up in the code. try this simpler version:

Code:

<a href="aim:goim?screenname=EvilErnie6t9">IM Me</a>

How do you do it for msn?

To add someone to your MSN buddy list:

Code:

<a href="javascript:MsgrApp.LaunchAddContactUI('address here');">Add this member to your MSN buddy list</a>

Sending a message:

Code:

<a href="javascript:MsgrApp.LaunchIMUI('address here');">Send this member an MSN Message</a>

Thats all I know.

does the person who clicks on the link have to have some form of msn installed on there computer?
