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
