Need help to display Yahoo Online Status Indicator on site

niranvv

Hai Friends,
Anybody knows how to put Yahoo Online status Indicator On websites!
I mean, the one smiley image, which will be on gray color while particular user is offline
and turns to one yellow smiley, when user comes online!
If we click on that smiley, It will open Yahoo messenger
with the TO field addressed to the particular ID.
you can see the smiley on the mails in the Yahoo mail box,
if a particular sender is online, and It can open yahoo IM window,
which can send messages to that particular user.
I found the code to display online status,
but, after clicking that, it will open
Yahoo web based messenger page only.
please help me.
