Adam.. pardon my ignorance. I'm not a javascript guru by any means.
In the IM_MainForm.aspx... if I create the javascript array of names when the pages loads....
.. then how am I supposed to call that array in the ChatUI_IMMain.xml file instead of the GetContactArray() function?
Example.. let's say I created an array called CustomContactsArray in the IM_MainForm.aspx when the page loads.
Then, fom the ChatUI_IMMain.xml:
var contacts=GetContactArrary();
How am I supposed to make that: var contacts=CustomContactsArray();
