More Minimal
In my endless quest for minimal web design, I’ve implemented a sidebar hide/show feature with help from Paul Sowden’s very popular style switcher. IE/Win and Safari 1.1 are handling it well. Most other browsers including Mozilla (?) trip over it. Bug reports — or fixes if you’re so inclined — are appreciated.
Other changes include slightly recolored sidebar icons and a redesigned search interface. Thanks to John Gruber for his thoughts along the way.
Update: The sidebar hide/show widget should now work in Mozilla/Firebird, but you may have to dump your cache and then select either “Hide sidebar” or “Show sidebar.” Thanks to Oskar van Rijswijk for the fix.

Looks good in Safari, Josh.
Oh wait, you probably already knew that :)
Unfortunately, for as long as I can remember, the “Preview Comment” and “Post Comment” buttons are always overlapping in Safari.

I’m aware of this. As far as I can tell, it’s a bug in Safari and won’t be fixed until either Apple fixes the bug or I get tired of seeing it.

I believe something else breaks in IE/Win (IE6): document.commentForm.author is null or not an object?

Thanks Manne. I think I fixed the problem. I’m working on Mac, so it’s difficult for me to know what’s happening on Windows.

Hi Joshua,
It works in Mozilla (Firebird) … but only when I am on the homepage.
Strange - I use the same styleswitcher script on my weblog and it works fine all over the blog-pages (also in IE6).
Something to do with the uri?
