How to make an IE addon/extension in JavaScript?

I need to create a simple IE addon, and trying to figure out how to do that in JavaScript. So far I saw a bunch of .NET examples on MSDN, and I've also seen the FireBreath project (which is kinda cool but it's in C++), but nothing in pure JavaScript.

Is there a way at all to make an extension for IE kinda the same way like we do it for FF/Chrome/Opera?

Thanks.

PS: I don't need any UI components, all I need is to track a page-load and alter a bit the HTML page, that's all.

    In short, no. Sorry. IE extensions need to be compiled, so you can't write them in a scripted language.

    You should be able to write it in your choice of .NET language, but Javascript isn't going to be in that list.
