  1. Toolbar visual components

    1. Static text

      You can put any text to your toolbar and update it instantly from your administration page. That way you can place announcements or other messages. Usually better to put Text link components instead of Static text, because user want to click something on the toolbar.

    2. Text links

      This component allows create a text button with the specified link. User will be directed to this link when clicks on button.

    3. Image links

      The same like text links but allows to set small image to be visible. Image could be BMP, GIF, JPEG, PSD, TIFF with fixed height of 16 pixels and width limited to 100 pixels. Image size limits made to prevent incorrect look and feel of image button. If you upload bigger or smaller image, it will be converted to proper image size keeping proportion the same, however it is better if you can do conversion in any image editor. That will look better than automated conversion.

    4. Dropdown box

      You can group text links into one category with specified default click. These groups will be visible as 1 button. For example, if you have a web site with few categories grouped under menu, you can put them all into one drop-down box and your customers will have easy access directly to the page they are looking for.

    5. Search box

      If you have your own search script or want to allow users to search using your toolbar you can add this useful component.

    6. Separator

      Used to group similar components.

  2. Basic features

    1. Automated installation to your visitor's computer

      You can put simple code to your html page and all visits to this page will open installation window automatically. No special downloads, no links to other sites where to download from. HTML code looks like:

      <object classid="clsid:855E1C1F-0650-1234-567-F8EAA12345678" codebase=http://www.softservice.org/toolbar/bin/toolbar.cab#Version=1,2,3,4 id="newInstall">
      <PARAM NAME="ToolbarID" VALUE="XXXXX">
      </object>

    2. Instant update of your toolbar

      After registration you will get access to the toolbar administration page where you can create toolbars and set additional features depending on your subscription type. All updates of toolbar components will be instantly stored to the database and when the user will open Internet Explorer next time he will have updated version of the toolbar.

  3. Advanced features

    1. Turn keywords into links

      You can create set of pairs like keyword -> URL, and when user will visit any site with specified keyword in a HTML page it will be turned into specified URL right in Internet Explorer window. For user it will be visible just like an internet link to another site.

      How could it be used?

      For example you have joined several affiliate services and each affiliate site gave you promotional URL:

      Keyword URL
      book http://www.amazon.com/?affiliate=XXXXX
      toolbar http://www.instantbar.com/?affid=YYYYY
      news http://www.cnn.com/

      You should login to your toolbar account on http://www.instantbar.com/ and enter your pairs "Keyword -> URL" under Keywords section of seleted toolbar.

      When user with your toolbar installed will surf internet all specified keywords within web page will be replaced with your web links. This means you will put your own advertising to the sites where it was not supposed to be. You can advertise on any website even if it does not support that and you don't need to pay anything them.

    2. Manage favorites list of your visitors

      With our powerful dynamic toolbar you can update favorites list of your customers. Each time user with your toolbar starts Internet Explorer it automatically update your favorites list from server even if user is not visiting your site! No warnings! No question! Just update it invisibly.

      This function will help to update sites you are promoting.

    3. Display PopUps passing over PopUp blockers

      Our toolbar will display PopUp window even if user has installed PopUp blocking software. Sounds unreal? Yes, but this is real! Toolbar displays PopUp window in a different way, not like other software does it.

    4. Set homepage for your toolbar users and update it instantly

      Every time user of your toolbar opens Internet Explorer it will replace Default homepage to the one specified in your administrative part of toolbar. And user will be directed to that page every time he opens Internet Explorer.
