A while back I had the bright idea of creating a digital product and thought it would be pretty sweet if I could use a fake Chat Pop up Box to push a discounted offer for the product as some seemingly random bonus. I cleaned it up and here it is for everyone. A live example of the script and the output:

CSS inside the <head><head> tag:

Code:
<!-- Style this nonsense - @MercenaryCarter -->
  <link rel="stylesheet" href="codez/jquery-ui-1.8.2.custom.css" type="text/css" media="screen">
  <link rel="stylesheet" href="codez/jquery.ui.chatbox.css" type="text/css" media="screen">
<!-- End of style this nonsense - @MercenaryCarter -->

HTML code sometime AFTER the opening <body> tag (I like the end):

Code:
<!-- This is require mated - @MercenaryCarter -->
<div id="chat_div" style="display:none;">
  <div style="display: block; margin: 2px;">
  <div style="display: inline-block; margin: 0px; width: 80px;">
  <img src="codez/avatar.jpg" width="80" height="80">
  </div>
  <div style="display: inline-block; margin: 0px;">
  <h2>Linda Williams</h2>
  <span style="color:#999999; margin: 8px;">Support Operator</span><br>
  <img src="codez/good.jpg" width="100" height="20" style="margin: 4px;">
  </div>
</div>

javascripts/jQuery right BEFORE the closing </body> tag:

Code:
<!-- This is require mated - @MercenaryCarter -->
  <script src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.10.2/jquery.min.js"></script>

  <script type="text/javascript" src="codez/jquery-ui-1.8.2.custom.min.js"></script>
  <script type="text/javascript" src="codez/jquery.ui.chatbox.js"></script>

<script type="text/javascript">
function loadChat(){
$("#chat_div").css( "display", "block" );
  box = $("#chat_div").chatbox({id:"Guest",
  title : "Live Chat - Currently Offline",
  offset: 20,
  hidden: true,
  messageSent : function(id, user, msg) {
  $("#chat_div").chatbox("option", "boxManager").addMsg(id, msg);
  }});
}

$(document).ready(function(){
  setTimeout("loadChat()",8000);  // Waits 8 seconds (8000 = 8 seconds)
});
</script>
<!-- End of require mated - @MercenaryCarter -->

Setting this up might be a bit more involved since it has 2 external CSS files (you can combine them), and 2 external javascript files as well.

Here is the whole thing zipped up nice and pretty for you:

Faux-Chat-Box-Popup.zip

You can probably push this faux chatbox to push anything to be honest. I was lazy and used a discount. I would recommend using an added bonus as an add-on instead of a discount where you are taking money un-necessarily out of your pockets.

Later,

This is great! I can't wait to use this. I'm going to spruce it up a bit...and have it rotate names and images so it will appear to be different people at different times. Thanks.
