I've got a thought concerning a search management tool that runs from within the browser. The first step is creating a toolbar (a skeleton version of the google toolbar or that fiendish yahoo toolbar) that can be used as a simple interface. Problem is i don't know how to go about that.

I should say i my programming expierence is pretty academic. I've produced a lot of code, but have rarely connected it to a user interface (beyond the command line and a few applets). So to code a toolbar do i need to target a single browser or is there a general api that would make the toolbar compatible with several different browsers? And what is that api? And where can i get some info on it?

It would be ideal to find a pre-existing toolbar that i could begin immediatly populating with my own features, but they seem scarce. The second best thing would be to get my hands on the code (preferably java or perl) for a working toolbar that i could deconstruct and extend.

I'm not sold on any particular browser, or language for that matter. I just need to get oriented and figure out what steps to take. Any advice is very welcome, thanks.
