[Web4lib] Using DOM scripting to show/hide Meebo widget based on login status

[Cox, Thomas]

Good morning,

 

We are considering adding the Meebo widget to the pages of our library
website.  We are concerned, however, about off-hours time when a
librarian is not logged on.  I'd like to perform some DOM scripting such
that if a librarian is not logged on, we hide the widget.  Does anyone
know if the Meebo widget exposes the login status?   Has anyone done
this?

 

Thank ever so much,
