Push a web page in a message (standard chat)

To push a web page when you send a message to a patron:

• Include the page's URL in the message text.
  Or, include a script that contains the URL.
  (Begin the URL with "http//:")

When you send the message, the page appears automatically in a new browser window on the patron's computer if the patron's browser allows pop-ups.

Notes

If the patron closes the pop-up window and wants to see the page again, you can push the page again or the patron can click the URL in the chat transcript.

If the patron's browser has security settings that do not allow pop-ups, the patron must click the URL in the transcript to open the page. You may want to suggest that the patron change the browser's security settings to allow pop-ups.

If you include more than one URL in a single message, only the page for the first URL pops up in the patron's browser.

If the URL begins with "https//", the page does not pop up. However, you can send the URL in a message and the patron can copy and paste the URL in a web browser to go to the page.
