Wow... I didn't even know that script could be cross-browser. Good work.
Indeed, nice and short too! Updated script to include the change. Thanks,
Yay!!!Quote:

That would be a cup of Earl Grey. A pot, er several pots, rather -some high end distressed bread (Pane Rustico - a 'Rustic and Chewy Peasant Bread with a Lightly Sour Flavor'). Those peasants really know how to live. And, you missed dinner here. If you like spicy food, you would probably have enjoyed my own recipe shoulder cut lamb chops.Quote:

Many years ago I volunteered at a rehab center. They asked me to tone it down or stop coming because all the recovering addicts thought I was high. So, you folks are not alone. Comfortingly though, the people running the center could tell the difference.
Believe me, I have been sober in about the strictest sense of the term for over two years (I had a glass of champagne for New Years). That is if you exclude one's state of mind.
But, don't mess with my internet connection, I might go into withdrawal.
First off, thank you a lot for the script!
I have just one little question - is there a way to avoid that bookmarked pages in Mozilla will be opened in the sidebar?
I tried all I could but I'm just hopeless with javascript.
My problem is I have a frame site and many of my users have trouble bookmarking the subpages. The subpages can be loaded each one for itself within its frameset (like index.html?subpage) but my visitors do not seem to get it. They click 'bookmark' in their browser and end up with the main frameset instead.
So I was happy to find your script working on both Mozilla and IE - when your script bookmarks the subpage just perfectly - if only the sidebar wouldn't come in..
Is there anything I could do to avoid the sidebar thing?
Thanks again, and I hope you do not mind my question..
