I'm working on an upgrade to my OpenFiles plugin that puts an alert in the GUI when there are open files that might prevent a clean shutdown.  I do this by doing some JavaScript modification of the objects in the html produced by emhttp.  One natural place to display this is on the "Array Operation" tab.

 

One thing I would like to do it throw some text/image in the div on the "Array Operation" tab warning not to stop the array until closing open files (if files are in fact open) but the divs and tables have no fixed ID, so it is very cumbersome to walk the DOM to find them to inject the text/image.  If the content div for each of the tabs had the tab name as the ID, that should make it much easier to extend the UI.

There is a #countdown in the middle of the footer. You could throw some red text down there.

$('#countdown').html('<font class='red'>message</font>');});

I actually have a separate tab added to the GUI with a nasty icon for a notice of open files, but even that is not enough to stop me from clicking the "stop" button when I shouldn't.  What I really want to do it put a popup on the checkbox if files are open, requiring confirmation and a warning when files are open.
