Working with Instant Messaging tools

[Zadock]

Hi All,

I have a web-based application and it has a menu where end-users can submit queries. I want to be able to achieve the following whenever a user submits a query:

1) Be able to identify a connected (online) user by their User Ids

2) If a user is currently connected, I want to be able to send an instant message to the user. The instant message can be as an SMS to the user's mobile phone number, or simply as a text on the chat text box of the application.

Thanks in advance.

Hi Zadock,

If the users is able to submit a query/action then the user must be logged in.... right? if so then all you need to do is fire off an SMS via a web portal (google there are plenty) or have an sms gateway via mobile phone on a pc (again plenty of solutions out there). If you're looking for an instant message on the browser, then you can achieve this with "PUSH" notifications and jQuery.
