Can I make my own custom AC button to display on my website?

Yes. To do this you need to make two separate graphics. One for when you have AnswerChat® enabled and one for when AnswerChat® is disabled.

If you are able to host your own images on a web server:

Method 1 - Dynamic (Disabled & Enabled)
(Note, you must be the account administrator to make this change)

• Upload the two images to your web server
• Right-Click your AnswerChat® Icon
• Select "Settings..."
• Locate the domain you wish to change the buttons for
• Click the "Button" link
• Enter the URL for the ENABLED image in the On graphic: text box
• Enter the URL for the DISABLED image in the Off graphic: text box
• Click "Save Button Settings"

Method 2 - Static Image/Text/Object

• Upload the two images to your web server
• Right-Click your AnswerChat® Icon
• Select "Settings..."
• Locate the domain you wish to change the buttons for
• Click the "Button" link
• Click the link that says "Click here to view the HTML code that you need to have in your web pages to display buttons."
• Copy the second chunk of code to your clipboard.. it will look like this:
  

  Code: Select all

  <!--AnswerChat text link start-->
<script language='javascript' src='http://www.answerchat.com/YOUR_ACCOUNT_NUM/ac-href.js'></script>
Place text link here</a>

• Modify the code to reflect your account number, and object to click in order to bring up the AnswerChat® window
