Creating A Browser

If you observe carefully the Internet Explorer 3.0 and above you would find that it has a different type of toolbar. When in normal state the toolbar buttons are shown in black and white. But as soon as the mouse is placed over any button a colored button appears. In its normal state such a toolbar is known as a Coolbar, whereas, when the buttons are shown in colors it is known as a Hotbar. This toolbar is housed in a Rebar (resizable bar) along with several child windows like an edit box where you can type a URL, a drop-down combo box listing the URL history, and an animation control. In this article we too would try to create such a sophisticated rebar in our browser.
