Hi ppl,
Thanks for your prompt replies and looking into the matters.
I found the solution to it. The solution seems odd and is exactly same as that has been given in the "simple instructions" part of plaxo, but I failed to understand why so? If somebody could elaborate on that, it would be much helpful.
First of all you can look at the working script at http://24.16.111.7/launch.html
Here is the solution:
Firstly you need a file launch.html with the following code:
***** launch.html ******
<html>
<head>
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://www.plaxo.com/css/m/js/util.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://www.plaxo.com/css/m/js/basic.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://www.plaxo.com/css/m/js/abc_launcher.js"></script>
</head>
<body>
<textarea id="recipient_list" rows="3" cols="80" name="recipients"></textarea>
<a href="#" onclick="showPlaxoABChooser('recipient_list', 'mail.html'); return false"><img src="http://www.plaxo.com/images/abc/buttons/add_button.gif" alt="Add from my address book" /></a>
</body>
</html>
Very Important Note: If you do not include the <textarea> here, then the pop itself won't work. So you need to specify the <textarea> in launch.html. But then one would think that why to specify another mail.html file in the <a> link and why not just give the name of the same launch.html file.
Here is the catch, you can give the name of the same file, but then it wont work since u have not included the following code in the head tag:
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://www.plaxo.com/ab_chooser/abc_comm.jsdyn"></script>
It will give the problem that we all are facing. The Please Wait button keeps flickering and nothing happens.
Now there is another catch. If you do add this line to launch.html then it will show this error:
Unable to add recipients. Please close the address book window and try again.
Hence the solution is to have two files. One launch.html with the code above and another mail.html with the code below.
****** mail.html *********
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html>
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8">
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://www.plaxo.com/ab_chooser/abc_comm.jsdyn"></script>
</head>
<body>
</body>
</html>
I hope this solves the doubts. Do let me know if I am going wrong somewhere.
