    Opening a conversation with a user

    Created a page that lists online users for the current user to add to their contact list or start a conversation with over messenger.  I need to be able to start a messenger conversation with an online user.  Previous post responded with this:
     
    <a href="#" onclick="Chat_OpenContact('admin')"><img src="CuteSoft_Client/CuteChat/Images/avatar.gif">admin</a>
     
    but that solution wont work.  It tries to open the messenger in the page, which is contained in an iframe as a widget on the whole page.  It also doesn't see already open messenger window, which we always open in a new browser pointed to Messenger.aspx (provided in CuteChat download).  So I guess the functionality I need is:
     
    1) If messenger is not open in a browser, open a new browser window with messenger and start a conversation selected user.
    2) If messenger is open in a browser, start a conversation in existing browser with messenger.
     
    What's the best way to accomplish this?
    Thanks!
