Re: Faster cleaner instant message checking said by BlitzenZeus:
Very nice Justin 
Now if only could convince my win98se active desktop to allow me to completely resize the page so it was only as big as the flashing image, and possibly have the background be black? Eh beggers can't be choosers!
I got mine this big. When the icon flashes it fills the box. I had to place it to the far edge of the right side to hide some of it though.
Thanks Justin, this is so cool.

| Is there a way to have the window stay on top of other browsers? Just curious.
Also, where is the domain of the site?
I'd like to make a trusted site and avoid the Internet Explorer dialog, "Scripts are usually safe. Do you want to allow scripts to run?"

It uses the same as DSLR (www.dslreports.com). And there are alternatives in showing it.. I tend to use it in my Proxomitron filter set, so no matter where I surf, the icon pops up on my browser page. |

Over at ATM we're trying to script a background process to query this page and somehow get a "yes" or "no" as to whether there are message(s) waiting.
Is there any way to programmatically get this info or is it limited to physically viewing the page that the URL generates?
TIA

Well, the 'programmatically' way of getting this is currently internal. So, the page is probably perl or php based. Based on the info, it then produces one of two images.
I guess it could be made into something that can be retrieved, but that's up to Justin for now  .

Thanks to TomRC I found the answer - the images for the flashing letterbox and the nonflashing one have different names in the image server. We can use this programmatically to tell whether the IM is waiting or not.

Atlanta, GA | Got this working as a native app. Here are the key things to get it working (in C):
#define REQUESTFMT "GET /instantcheck/%s HTTP/1.0\n\n"
%s will later be substituted with your user id. The string is the actual HTTP request you need to send. Note the HTTP spec requires two carriage returns.
#define IM_NO "SRC=\"http://i.dslr.net/bb/imsg1.gif\""
#define IM_YES "SRC=\"http://i.dslr.net/bb/imsg.gif\""
These are the strings to use to search the returned HTML.
