Check out the way this guy implements this:

If you look at the source, it's just a special img tag that selects
between two images to display based on a call to a special URL at AOL.
I changed the screen name from matthewMJE to my screen name and pasted
it into a blank HTML page using Nvu and it worked fine (I know because I
tested it when I *was* online and it displayed the "online" image).  It
seems all you need to do is change the sn and give it two images of your
own ("on_url=" and "off_url=").  Here's the img tag in question in case
you have trouble finding it:

<img border="0" align=absmiddle
src="http://big.oscar.aol.com/matthewMJE?on_url=http://birdseye.ultralab
.net/drupal/media/online.jpg&off_url=http://birdseye.ultralab.net/drupal
/media/offline.jpg">

I am looking for a javascript that I could use on our library webpages
to indicate when we are online to answer AOL IM.  I thought I saw one
awhile back but can not locate it on AOL website or in Google search.
