This article explains how to create a custom MSN Today page for use with TabServe.
The MSN Today window must be shown by the page itself using some Messenger API with JavaScript. This is the function that shows the window, put it in the <head></head> tags.
<script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript">
function ShowMSNToday(popInFront){
var p,e;
e = window.external;
if (e != null){
p = e.MsgrHost;
if (p != null){
p.ShowMessengerHostWnd(popInFront);
}
}
}
</script>
Use the onload event in the body tag to call that function. Using the body onload event ensures the window is only shown when the page is fully loaded, images and all.
<body onload="ShowMSNToday(0);">
Custom MSN Today pages should be sized 555×450px, the window cannot scroll, so be sure to stick within that size, or use frames.
If you want to use an existing page and/or don't wan't to do all the JavaScript code, then you can use TabServe's MSN Today provider. Use it like this: http://services.fanatic.net.nz/msntoday.php?http://www.yoursite.com/ and it will load http://www.yoursite.com/ in the MSN Today window inside a frame.
Update: alexp2_ad posted on the forum a better way of framing a page inside the MSN Today window. TabServe’s MSN Today provider has been updated to use this method.
