Can someone point me to an article (or discuss here) that explains how an add-on/extension can read what a user has completed in a form in a browser so you can present data to them based on the search parameters?
An example would be the Sidestep extension that opens a sidebar when a user searches on an airline/travel site and presents them a Sidestep meta search based on the parameters used on the original airline/travel site.
Browser extensions are necessarily browser specific. I would look at the APIs for your target browser. Here’s a thread on Firefox 3.0 extensions.
