OpenNTF: XPages ActiveBar Custom Control

Activebar is a crossbrowser information bar, which tries to mimic the look and feel of these bars used by modern browsers. Such bars are commonly used to display important informations to the user. Requests to open a popup window, install some components or to remember some sort of password are prominent examples of what these bars are commonly used for.

Unfortunately modern browsers do not allow any website to access these kind of information bars because of certain understandable security concerns. Activebar is written in pure javascript utilizing the jquery js library for crossbrowser compatibility and ease of development. It simulates the behavior as well as the look and feel of current browser information bars using simple html and css. Therefore it can easily be embedded into your website to display certain information to the user in an unobtrusive way.
