Can I use JavaScript to manipulate other status bar fields?

[ljwheeler]

I'm looking for a way to use JavaScript to manipulate other fields of the status bar besides just the message area field, such as one of the fields that some sites and/or browsers (ie; SlimBrowser) displays weather information.

As as I know, there is really no way to do that unless you write a plugin for that specific browser.

I appreciate the quick response. Guess it's time that I learn how to write plug-ins.

What do you want the plugin to do?

Basically present three values of the current page/document, maximum number of lines, current line, and whether or not the end of page/document is currently in view.

Without going into a lot of meaningless details for viewers of this thread, I have developed a custom web interface that collects and displays specific mainframe related logging data. The page/document is updated dynamically as new log messages are collected.

Well, if you need this information displayed as a part of webpage, you should be able to make a 'fake' status bar (with html) above the real status bar and populate the fields using javascript.
