Toolbar to modify displayed html/content in IE / Firefox / Chrome.
- by JP
Hi,
I want to create toolbar, whose functionality would be:
Whenever the toolbar is "On/Activated", all pages should be parsed by a function, and the modified html should be displayed.
[Example:
i) There was this skype toolbar that would recognize phone-numbers in pages and automatically add skype links
ii) If you have used MacAfee / Alexa toolbars, they modify the search results page displayed by Google
My functionality would a lot simpler though]
I want to create this for all browsers (though answers/pointers to any one platform would be appreciated).
Please note that I am new to toolbar development, so detailed pointers from basics would be very helpful.
I have heard to GreaseMonkey. However, if I can do it in a more "basic" way, it would be very helpful. (Alternately, tips to make a "custom" toolbar using GreaseMonkey would be welcome - though I would like to do away with ability to add scripts, etc. Also I installed greasemonkey and it does show up as a toolbar in FF/IE at all! In IE, there is separate executable to add scripts - I want a standalone toolbar with ON/OFF facility in the browser).
Thanks much!
Regards,
JP
