It should open a chat window to that particular person. the purpose of this page is to allow us to contact spanish speaking agents in order to find someone available to transfer a spanish caller to. However instead of opening a spark chat window I used to get a popup trying to send me to the Windows app store to get an app to open .xmpp links with. I used a reg edit file example I found here to make a reg key that is supposed to make spark open a window when the link is clicked but now it just opens up a new tab in IE with the link and doesnt even ask to go to the app store anymore. For all I know the IT department that builds the webpages for our tools may not have coded the spark chat links correctly, but those people using pidgin rather than spark are not having the same issue, and I only know of for sure one other person who has this issue with spark. the Reg file looks like this
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\xmpp]
@="URL:XMPP Protocol"
"EditFlags"=dword:00000002
"URL Protocol"=""
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\xmpp\shell]
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\xmpp\shell\open]
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\xmpp\shell\open\command]
@="C:\\Program Files (x86)\Spark\Spark.exe %1"
and the source, well some of it, the parts with the links in it at least, is
<a href="xmpp:user@server" target="_blank">user@server</a>
