Menu
I work with an application that has created it's own protocol such like MS did for its MSN client msnim:[email protected]
However, I need to create a PHP or javascript (or combo) to basically send 3 requests to the protocol as soon as possible. I also want it if the end result is www.test.com/send.php that a user link <a href='www.test.com/send.php'> would not pop up or redirect to a page much like doing
<?php header('Location: msnim:[email protected]'); ?> would not create a new page or redirect upon user click of href
Here is a JQUERY and JSBin of my proof of concept
http://jsbin.com/etubas/11/
$(document).ready(function(){
$("a#click_me").click(function(){
setTimeout(function(){
console.log('test ran');
window.location = 'mailto:[email protected]';
}, 100);
setTimeout(function(){
console.log('new ran');
window.location = 'mailto:[email protected]';
}, 200);
});
});
This seems to work OK with IE9 and as far as I can see IE8. Firefox 10 seems be OK too but chrome 17 only does 1st email.
Edit 1: Updated with MSN instead of AIM links to be more universal for testing, and include jquery example and JSbin
Edit 2: Updated to mailto links

The following HTML/JavaScript code will observe clicks on <a id="click_me"> and create two new iFrames to a URL which can trigger the custom URI scheme you created:
<html>
<head>
<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function(){
var imURL = 'http://josh.gitlin.name/9472703.php?id='; // Change this to your URL
function openIM(who) {
var iFrame = '<iframe src="'+imURL+who+'"></iframe>';
$('div#imLinks').append(iFrame);
}
$("a#click_me").click(function(e){
e.preventDefault();
setTimeout(function(){
openIM('1');
}, 100);
setTimeout(function(){
openIM('2');
}, 200);
});
});
</script>
</head>
<body>
<p>Some content here</p>
<p><a href="#" id="click_me">Click Me!</a></p>
<div id="imLinks"></div>
</body>
</html>
The following PHP code is what will be displayed inside those iFrames:
<?php
$screenname = '';
switch($_REQUEST['id']) {
case '1': $screenname = 'firstPerson'; break;
case '2': $screenname = 'secondPerson'; break;
default: $screenname = 'otherPerson'; break;
}
echo <<<END_OF_HTML
<html>
<head>
<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="0;url=aim:goim?screenname=$screenname">
</head>
</html>
END_OF_HTML;
Tested under Safari and Chrome, this will open up multiple IM windows when the link is clicked. Obviously tweak to your satisfaction.
