Inserting custom tab and Iframe into yahoo mail - javascript

I'm working on inserting a tab into Yahoo mail that would display an iframe with meebo in it.
This tab will act the same as the "Home" and "Inbox" tabs. These tabs are defined as tables in the "MainTabControl" div. Each tab controls the absolute position of a div which contains the content for that tab.
I have added a tab by inserting a table into the MainTabControl div using "Customize Your Web" firefox extension. The problem appears to be that yahoo's javascript (used to modify the page) is erasing my tab as well as the div containing the meebo iframe. Anyone tried something like this?
Thanks!

Greasemonkey might give you more options.

IFrame should breakout, when a link in the IFrame was clicked

I'm working on a Webapp, which just put a layer over a website (http://mywebapp.com/http://www.example-website.com/).
The Website is embedded in an IFrame, so I don't know when the URL of the Website changed. I'd like the have this behaviour: "When a link was clicked in the IFrame, the IFrame should breakout of my window".
I also created for Chrome and Firefox an extension, that is just an icon, which puts "http://mywebapp.com/" for the current URL in the current selected tab.
Is it possible to achieve this behaviour with an extension?
Ok, I found something called content scripts.
Firefox
Chrome
I hope i can access with these extensions the IFrame, I'll give it a try.

You can use jquery Tabs
"A single content area with multiple panels, each associated with a header in a list." :

disable certain navigation links in popup window (external website)

Hi I am opening an external website in my pop window. I would like to disable certain links in that popup.
i.e. I am opening http://www.yahoo.com in pop and I want to disable some links in that pop-up so that who ever visit yahoo.com using my website, will not able to click on some links...
Is it possible? any idea?
It is impossible to run JavaScript on another domain because of the same origin policy. imagine someone opening up your bank account in a new window/frame and altering the links to transfer money to their account. ;)
You can screen scrape the content with your server and redisplay it, but you have to worry about proxying all of the relative links.
If you are creating a popup using the standard window.open you can manipulate the DOM of that document. See here for more information on how to do that (towards the bottom of the page). But this is fairly limiting to writing stuff to that page. I suppose you could render the link in an iframe and inject some javascript to manipulate it?

Trying to open some links with an inline modal popup window

I am new here so bare me with some time. I want to open some of the links in my page with an inline popup window.
I guess that those special links have to have a different id attribute that triggers the jquery script
I used the script from this page sohtanaka.com/web-design/inline-modal-window-w-css-and-jquery/ that has a simple code with great result
The problem is that this script shows the content of the div and am trying to show the page of the link
Thank you very much for your help and info.
It sounds like you're not trying to show inline content, but just a normal modal with an iframe or ajax. You would probably be better served using fancybox.
Fancybox has good documentation and should be easier for you to set up.

Bookmarking page to load specific Frame content, is there a FF add-on or somethign I can do with a bookmarklet?

I am using an application which has a cumbersome menu structure and I would like to create a bookmark to a specific page within the application. The app does not update the url as you click around each screen, and the top level source is
I can get the url to the menu item I need, but if I use that in my bookmark, the toolbar is not loaded.
Does anyone know if there is a way I can create a bookmark where I can load the tookbar, but change the body to load a specific url?
iMacros, a Firefox extension could allow to you script the menu navigation to where you want. You can bookmark individual macros. This isn't as elegant or simple as a simple bookmark, but it should work.
Record the actions you need done, and then play them back.
