macOS DashCode - help me out with this custom widget please

[mgpg89]

I live in Belgium and over here we still have download limits (I have 60GB/month which is about the most you can get over here, with a few exceptions)

I find myself going to my ISP's website every day to check my download meter. (log-in required, of course)

I was wondering if I could make a widget where you have to insert your log-in data in the 'back' of the widget and then see my download meter on the front?

I downloaded Dashcode, but I know absolutely nothing about programming.
So if someone could show me the way on how to do this, I would be forever grateful.

Anyone?

You could maybe just use a WebClip widget?

The problem with that is, that I have to log in to the website every time? And the session expires every ** (don't know how many) hours ... so that's not an option really ..

There is/was one for Telenet. Download that one, dissect the code (find and replace all URL's with the ones you need to use) and post it to the apple download section.
Maybe the person who wrote that widget is willing to help you with it.

Probably, but it's free and it works. What more do you want?
If you want a better version, then you have a great excuse to learn Dashcode. Start hacking, and ask questions on how to do specific things. That will get you more answers than general ones.
