Gerbrant.hidePane
Hides the left pane containing the navigation pane, the toolbox, interwikis etc. as well as the tabs. As a replacement it displays a set of pulldown menus containing all the links previously in the left pane and tabs. It is primarily useful if you find yourself running out of screen real estate while reading Wikipedia. Exports nothing.

Eh...

What pane does it hide?  :-) — SMcCandlish [talk] [contrib] 12:57, 20 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Regarding your comment on User talk:Gerbrant/hidePane.js, did you mean to say that there should be some kind of description, or that it doesn't appear to work for you? B.t.w. I'm thinking of redesigning the script, such that the pop-up menu's will be located at the top. I'm not sure how to go about it yet, but ideally all the "interface" shouldn't take up more than one line or so. I think the article is what's important, all that clutter in the left pane may be useful sometimes, but when you're reading an article it just gets in the way.

I meant that it needs at least some minimal documentation. I don't know if it works or not, since I didn't know what to look for. :-) — SMcCandlish [talk] [cont] ‹(-¿-)› 20:35, 7 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
I'm guessing, due to the rather radical interface change this script causes, that you will notice it when it works. If you don't notice the difference, chances are it isn't working, possibly due to a bug or due to you browser caching an old script file somewhere. Shinobu 13:02, 12 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

IE6

I saw that you tried to fix target handling, but the script still results in JS error in IE6 when you point the mouse to the top menu (like "toolbox") and then move the mouse upwards outside of window content. Also <li> bullets are often visible in IE6 in submenu. As for general "feel", personally I'm missing p-cactions and p-personal too much; I guess some users would prefer the script to hide only the portlets on the left ∴ AlexSm 20:08, 14 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
