Microsoft Communicator Presence in Gadget

mcheek · 21 Jan 2011

I have a short script that works in an HTML page and pulls a person's communicator presence given their email address. When I try this in a gadget, it just won't work the same. Here is the code.

Code:

<html> 
  <head> 
  <script language="JavaScript"> 
    var nameCtrl = new ActiveXObject("Name.NameCtrl"); 
  </script> 
  </head> 
  <body> 
  <span onmouseover="nameCtrl.ShowOOUI('test@example.com',0,this.offsetLeft,this.offsetTop)"onmouseout="nameCtrl.HideOOUI()"> 
    Hover your mouse over this text to retrieve presence information. 
  </span> 
  </body> 
  </html>

If nothing else, I would like to just display the presence color of the person. Does anyone have any experience with this JS object to help me out?

This seems to work

NameCtrl.GetStatus Method
