Is there anyway to make a Static text bar similar to the Command link bar?

I want some of my text to be changeable on the fly, but not scroll up with everything else.

Pretty new to scripting so be gentle.

I have written a guide to changing the UI, and just added a post to do just this:

You might want to read the first and second posts first (but perhaps skip to "Using JavaScript"), as they give some background, and the new post does assume some knowledge of these things.

This is great thank you. I was wondering how you did that when I was playing deeper.

I got it to show up but when I try to run the unpdatestatus script I get the following error:

Error running script: Error compiling expression '"$('#status_div').html('" + s + "');"': Unknown object or variable 's'

Do I need to change the script for the variable?

Yes, you need to set s to some value. Perhaps:
s = "Hits: " + player.hits + "<br/>Gold: " + player.gold
JS.eval("$('#status_div').html('" + s + "');")

OK got everything working.

Thanks for all the help.

One more question how would I put a small character face picture above their stats?

If that is possible.

I have not tried it, but you should be able to use the <img> html tag to put in an image. See here for how:
