Customizing the PIN Entry Form with Instant Chat

    Articles related to customization are written for a technical audience who have experience in web development. Knowledge of HTML, CSS, and JavaScript are required.

    A PIN entry form with Instant Chat looks exactly like the one without the chat option. The only difference is that after the customer enters a PIN code that the technician provides, the Instant Chat window appears without downloading the Rescue Applet.

    You can customize the same elements of the PIN entry whether you enable Instant Chat or not, which are the following:

    • Button caption
    • Text and text style
    • Error messages
    • Enable tracking the language and entry point of customers

    The difference is that you must modify the elements at different locations in the HTML code. The following is a sample PIN entry form with Instant Chat that you can integrate into your website: 

    <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/
TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">

  <script type="text/javascript">
    function loadInstantChat(){
      var ICLoader = new RescueInstantChatLoader();
      ICLoader.ICContainer = "ICContainer";
      ICLoader.HostedCSS = "https://secure.GoToRescue.com/InstantChat/Standard/
InstantChat.css";
      ICLoader.HostedLanguagesForChatOnlyMode = "https://secure.GoToRescue.com/
InstantChat/LanguagesForChatOnlyMode.js";
      ICLoader.HostedLanguagesForAppletMode = "https://secure.GoToRescue.com/
InstantChat/LanguagesForAppletMode.js";
      ICLoader.PrivateCode = document.getElementById("Code").value;
      ICLoader.Tracking0 = ""; /* optional */ 
	  ICLoader.Language = ""; /* optional */ 
	  ICLoader.PostMessageTargetOrigin = null; //https://[YourSite].com<:443> 
      ICLoader.HostedErrorHandler = function(ErrorName) 
        {
        switch(ErrorName)
        {
          case "NOTECHAVAILABLE": handleError("Currently no technicians are available.
 Please check back later."); break;
          case "NOTECHWORKING": handleError("Sorry, we're closed. No technicians are

          case "ERRNOSUCHSSESSION": handleError("The support session cannot be started.");
 break;
          case "ERRNOSUCHENTRY": handleError("The online support session cannot be started.

          case "ERRCODEDOESNOTEXIST": handleError("PIN Code does not exist.

          case "ERRNOTEXPIRED": handleError("Technician or company does not exist.
 Please contact your support provider."); break;
          case "ERRMISSINGTECHLICENSE": handleError("The support session cannot be started.
 The technician is not configured to support this type of device."); break;
        }
      }
      ICLoader.Start();}
    function handleRebootOrRefresh(){
      if ((window.location + "").indexOf("Rescuewebsessionid") != -1)
{document.getElementById("ICContainer").style.display=""; loadInstantChat();} /* optional */
      if (window.location.hash.length == webSessionIdLength + 1)
{document.getElementById("ICContainer").style.display=""; loadInstantChat();} /* optional */
    }
  </script>
</head>
<body onload="handleRebootOrRefresh();">
  <span>Enter your 6-digit code: </span><input id="Code" type="text" /><br />
  <input type="button" value="Connect to technician" onclick="document.getElementById
('ICContainer').style.display=''; loadInstantChat();" />
  <div id="ICContainer" style="position: absolute; left: 0px; top: 0px; width: 400px;
