Can someone tell me what is wrong with this code?
<html>
<script>
function GetAimStatus()
{
var ScreenName=this.form.aimsn.value;
{
location="http://big.oscar.aol.com/" + ScreenName + "?on_url=image/online.gif&off_url=image/offline.gif"
</script>
<body>
<FORM name=myForm>
<TEXTAREA name=aimsn size=50 cols=30 rows=5></textarea>


<P><INPUT name=button2 onclick="GetAimStatus();" type=button value=Check_Status>
</body>
</html>

I liked the aim check status idea. Thank you.

What I wanted to do initially was write a javascript that would first generate a specified number of input boxes, second take the scren names from those textboxes and see if each ser is online, and third display the image (online or offline) beside the screen name of each user. This, however, is way out of my league. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I or some one else can help you with the most part of your question,however,question still remains that
"Does AOL allow http request based status information"? if not then all of by you or by any one who would help you is fruitless..

Make any sense?

<form name="form1">
<select style="font-size:12px;color:#006699;font-family:verdana;background-color:#ffffff;" name="menu">
<option value="http://">1</option>
<option value="http://">2</option>
<option value="http://">3</option>
<option value="http://">4</option>
<option value="http://">5</option>
<option value="http://">6</option>
<option value="http://">7</option>
<option value="http://">8</option>
</select>
<input style="font-size:12px;color:#ffffff;font-family:verdana;background-color:#006699;" type="button" onClick="SomeFuction(document.form1.menu.options[document.form1.menu.selectedIndex].value);" value="Generate">
</form>


<!--<script>
somefunction()
{
generate html code on page (using cookies perhaps)
perhaps in new window (if easier)
tables + button for submit
}
</script>-->

This is an example of what I would like somefuction to generate.
<hr>
<TABLE BORDER=1 WIDTH=700 HEIGHT=20>
<TD ALIGN="center" VALIGN="right" WIDTH=300><b>Screen Name</b></TD>
<TD ALIGN="center" VALIGN="right" WIDTH=300><b>Status</b></TD>
</TABLE>
<TABLE BORDER=1 WIDTH=700 HEIGHT=20>
<TD ALIGN="center" VALIGN="right" WIDTH=300><b><TEXTAREA name="" size=50 cols=30 rows=1></textarea></b></TD>
<TD ALIGN="center" VALIGN="right" WIDTH=300><b>Image goes here on submit</b></TD>
</TABLE>
<INPUT name=button2 onclick="Check status for all boxes generated" type=button value=Check_Status>


Okay... so this is all garbage for the most part. Just felt like writing down some ideas so that you could get a better idea of what I'm trying to accomplish. Another fuction would be needed to check the status of all users. I'll edit this post later.

Thankya
