does anyone know how to do one of those links on a geocities page from an AIM link so when you click on it your window pop's up and a phrase is in it?
i tried this code:
aim:goim?screenname=SoCoObsessed&message=You+Spin+Me+Round+Like+A+Dream

in a HTML box just putting it in like in a link thing, and it did not work.

yeah, that's the code but there shouldn't be a space after the ampersand.

try this:

<a href="aim:goim?screenName=SoCoObsessed&message=You+Spin+Me+Round+Like+A+Dream">whatever</a>

The forum likes to put that space in anyway, just take it out. :P

i'm not sure how you do it with msn, but yes you can do it with yahoo. just paste this code into the link tag. should look like this:

<a href="ymsgr:sendIM?screennamegoeshere&message=hey">

you can add more things than just "hey" by doing the + sign.

thanks. I've seen on message boards the msn button where it adds people, but cant seem to find a script anywhere.
