Not sure why this isn't working at all.

Hey guys,

I don't know why this AIM Away Message thing isn't working for me.
Here's the code:

Code:

[ <a href="aim:goaway?message=I+am+away+from+the+computer+right+now.<br><br><FONT+FACE=Arial+SIZE=1+color=blue><a+href=http://www.mysite.com>Courtesy+of+Mysite.com</a></FONT>">Use It!</a> ]

Now, If I am correct the outcome should look like this when used in an Away Message after they've clicked the [ Use It! ] link on my site:
????: NamePros.com http://www.namepros.com/programming/133972-not-sure-why-isnt-working-all.html
-----------See Below--------------------
I am away from the computer right now.

Courtesy of Mysite.com
-----------See Above--------------------

However it's not working, this is what happens in the Away Message:
-----------See Below--------------------
I am away from the computer right now.

Courtesy of Mysite.com
-----------See Above--------------------

The URL of it goes to absolutely nothing! When I click on the hyperlink in my Away Message, it goes no-where like it should. It doesn't launch in a browser like it should. And when I right click on the link can select "Copy Hyperlink URL to Clipboard" it copies nothing like it should. So apparently the whole hyperlink is blank.

Is my coding wrong or what? I know it's not working.

Thank you,
Andy

Make sure that you are not getting any sort of http:// in front of it.

Try opening it in a new window or something.....

What do you mean by not putting any http:// in front of it?
