O.P. Making a custom tab
Hi guys...
Just wondering if you guys have an idea for a custom tab i want to make...

Here is a site with the tvguide for australia http://tvguide.ninemsn.com

Now what I want to do is make a tab that shows today's tvguide and if possibly in a slimmer format to fit in a standard sort of msn window...

Now I'm stuck for ideas on how to do this...? Anybody have clues for me?

RE: Making a custom tab
He's not asking how to link the tab to his messenger, he's asking HOW he can MAKE a tab, as in: the page itself.....

And he should make it in PHP most likely. And if http://tvguide.ninemsn.com doesn't support RSS feeds or something similar he needs to grab the right page (the one with info) and extract the info from it and make it into his own page...

And from MSNFanatic (I thought, or was it mess.be?) you can download a tab-template which looks like the standard MSN tabs... I'll attach de zip here, since I can't find the correct link atm (I got very little time atm)...

RE: Making a custom tab
i was trying to make a tab that displayed the weather in your local area (anyone who has MYIE2 web browser should know what i mean) i was also going to try and make the media player that is in MYIE2 into a tab aswell, however i can't i lost interest but i did make a weather emoticon set.....never released it.

I do own and run a tab though. The weebl and bob one.

http://weebltab.kaonet.net

I totally re-designed it and now i believe it is very good and looks like the official site. please tell me what you think as i would like some feedback.

You could use http://mobile.wunderground.com/ for that. It says it supports the following places...

nothing, only a php page which you create and a place to host.... Do you know HTML (I mean html, not frontpage stuff or other kind of wysiwyg html editor ;)) and PHP?
