Click a link to create a vCard Options

[Gardy]

Hey all,

I have a list of Contacts displayed on my site that is compiled from an external JS fils (Haven't ventured in to SQL yet). I am trying to make it so that a user is able to click a link next to the user and have all of there information saved to a vCard that can be saved to MS Outlook. I think this is possible from other documentation that i have read, but I have fallen flat on my face in trying to achieve this. If any body is able to offer any tip's i'd really appriciate it.

Thanks.

Below is the code I am using to produce the Contact List, just incase any body needs it. I have highlighted red where the vCard link currently is.

CODE

var i = 0;            // Dummy count
var j = 0;            // Dummy count

var ContactByPost    // Whether or not the 'Contact by Post' form is displayed

/* **** ------------------------------------------------------------------------
        CONTACT COUNT - So list is displayed correctly (Normal then alt, normal then alt)

Oh, ok. Sorry, I though MicroFormats were HTML - It's just I am using JS to display it.
