I would like to use the yahoo online indicator on my website ( showing when members are online ). I found the following code at http://messenger.yahoo.com/messenger/help/online.html <a href="http://edit.yahoo.com/config/send_webmesg?.target=YahooUser25&.src=pg">
However, i would like to use custom graphics for the online indicator.

Does anyone know how to do this?

I would also like to do the same with icq, aim and msn.

I didn't try it out but if you'll look at the code that yahoo provided you at the link there is an img tag. This obviously calls one of two images depending on your online status. You could probably rig a php (perl, asp, etc) script to read the image returned by this code and display your own custom images based on the results.

sorry I don't have time right now to try to work it out for you, but if you need help I might be able to do so.

Does anyone know how to do this using php?
