DFI-Street Firefox Extension

[cronocrash]

An idea popped up today, resulting from this thread:

http://www.dfi-street.com/forum/showthread.php?t=53197

 

I would like to create a Firefox extension that adds a toolbar to the Firefox browser that allows the user to perform various functions (ie. search) on DFI-Street.com.

 

It appears that any coding would be done in Javascript. I'm not really sure what is involved in this yet, but I am taking the time to investigate. If anyone wants to help out or has any advice please post here.

 

Thanks.

You can use http://www.rollyo.com/firefoxsearch.html to add a site specific search using a search engine of your choice. This is sort of what I'm talking about but a unique unofficial DFI-Street toolbar would be hot!!

Well, if you decide to do it and you know already know javascript it shouldn't be that hard.

 

I made some firefox scripts and one plugin a whle ago - visual changes mostly (not yet completely finished):

Try using greasemonkey plugin first to write a few scripts (userscripts ), and then you can easily make it into a real plugin.

All I can say is that would be sick. If I knew more Java I'd help you out!

I know a large amout of Java, but im not the greatest with JavaScript. But if I can be of any help, just let me know.

LoL. Well I don't really know JavaScript. But I'm willing to try to learn. I'll get some books and start reading.
