embedd an address navigation bar on top of pages visited from root site

Copy linkTweet thisAlerts:
Sep 02.2010

Hello everyone,

I have what some would identify as a Kiosk machine running a browser in full screen(true full screen, no address bar visible). It serves as an internet cafe machine, with unique users and a login system.

What I’m looking to do is when the user leaves the root site (via clicking a button), to embed a frame at the top of the page with an address navigation bar, so I can track the time the user spent browsing. I’m exclusively using firefox, and I’m not concerned with support for such functionality in other browsers.

I assume I can achieve this with javascript, jquery, or ajax, I’m just not sure which to start with and how to begin planning the execution.

Any insight would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

Probably be easier to write some sort of firefox plug-in or a normal application to monitor the time.

Thanks for the reply.

A firefox plug-in is an interesting thought, the only problem is, I'd need to post that time value to a mysql database. I have little experience working with firefox plug-ins.

What about a java browser applet .. is such a thing possible? Embed it in the page with, and store time updates in a variable to send back?

Success!
