Anyway, I don't know the answer here... maybe it really is a Safari problem, who knows.


It's a BB bug, I'd bet.

(/BBWeb/javascript/toolkit.js)


var toolCookie


var screenWidth = 0, screenHeight = 0;

[...]
var toolCookie = readCookie('toolbar');


I think the no-semicolon line is ok (brushing up on my JS), but redeclaring a variable probably shouldn't work (although it likely does in some browsers). Here's what JSLint (http://www.jslint.com/) has to say about that page:


Error:

Implied global: document 2 39, myLeft 12, myTop 13, navigator 3, readCookie 23

Problem at line 3 character 54: Line breaking error ')'.

var arVersion = navigator.appVersion.split("MSIE")

Problem at line 3 character 55: Missing semicolon.

var arVersion = navigator.appVersion.split("MSIE")

Problem at line 5 character 9: Line breaking error 'toolCookie'.

var toolCookie

Problem at line 5 character 19: Missing semicolon.

var toolCookie

Problem at line 23 character 20: 'toolCookie' is already defined.

var toolCookie = readCookie('toolbar');

Problem at line 36 character 23: 'resizeToolbar' was used before it was defined.

date = today.getDate()

Problem at line 48 character 27: Missing semicolon.

Problem at line 49 character 98: Missing semicolon.

It doesn't minimise in IE either.

Climbing the BB-mountain. Destination: the top.

If it's not staying closed, it sounds like you're having a cookie issue. When you minimize the toolbar, do you have a cookie that looks like this?


Name toolbar
Value 1
Host www.buzzerbeater.org
Path /
Secure No
Expires Mon, 02 Jun 2008 03:00:00 GMT



No idea where to find that info in Safari.


No dice. Browsed my cookies and there is no toolbar cookie on the list among the buzzerbeater-related cookies. In fact, none named Toolbar at all...


The CSS I gave above might hit some div#toolkit divs on other sites, BTW.


I think I'll refrain from messing around then. I'm not familiar enough with style editing to try it.

Yes, it does work in Firefox. Telling someone to change their browser isn't a real solution, though.
.


Agreed, Although I have Firefox - I prefer its compatibility with Hotmail - I don't like using Firefox for BB - it's not as smooth as with Safari. The toolbar is the only issue I have with the site, and it's only since they switched servers - it never did this on the old site...

Click the little half white/half orange circle on the right hand side of it.


Which minimizes it, but it's still there kinda uselessly. I never use it myself, which just inspired me to find that if you know how to apply some user style rules (Adblock or Stylish extensions for FF would be a couple of ways) to BB pages, doing:

div#toolkit {display: none;}

... will make the toolbar disappear. (I won't help anybody who doesn't know how to do this themselves, sorry.)

damn, I don't know how, but I sure would like to get rid of it. The first thing I always do after logging in is minimizing it.

They are not your friends; they dispise you. I am the only one you can count on. Trust me.

So is there somebody that actually uses that thing?

My toolbar also has being minimized for months, like Juicepats'.

I second that. Never used it once. At first i tried to use it, because i thought it would be easier which it obviously was not.

I don't like it, don't need it and never use it. It needs to go!

Agree!
