How do I add an S-Control to the Accounts Page Lay-out

I tried to ask support, and they just said they don't support s-controls.

I created a new S-control that is just html. I'm using the xmlhttp object to fetch an rss feed. It works great if I create it as a link, but I want it as a section. My html is all nice and pretty, and trims the result set down to a maximum of 5 items, and its even formatted to match the HTML layout.

How do I create this as a component and add it to the accounts page layout? I basically want to do the same thing you can do to the home page.

Please help, I spent forever making this html / javascript and now can't do anything with it. Very frustrating.

You need to first create a 'custom link' in the accounts section. Then add your custom link to the layout of your accounts form/views. To do these go to 'Setup' option on the top right corner, then from the left hand tree select customize and you'll see accounts along with the rest of salesforce objects.

scontrols in a section is not available today, but IS on our road-map, come to the Dreamforce event if you can !

I thought there was a work around of sorts for this. I saw something demonstrated at a developers section in the Boston area earlier in the year.

Would something like this work?
