The Chat Widget Sample is unable to start or end a chat session. As a workaround,

    strHTML += "onclick=\"javascript:window.open('"+ strCodebase+ "HtmlChatPanel.jsp?";

Workaround: If you want to use ESJ 8.0 or 8.0.1, you should only use 8.0 or 8.0.1 e-mail samples. The following SimpleSamples802 folders should be populated with the contents of the same folders from SimpleSamples80 or SimpleSamples801: Email and EmailWithAttachment.

Found In: 8.0.200.01 Fixed In:

Found In: 8.0.100.08 Fixed In: 

After a bargein, the customer does not see a typing notification, or the push URL from the supervisor.

(ER# 247810721)

Found In: 8.0.100.08 Fixed In: 8.0.210.02

Information in this section is included for international customers.


Chat interactions do not offer Korean language support for the special character ® (UTF-16 code = A2 00 E7 00).
