This is exactly what I'm trying to do with a music mashup I'm working on. I'm a big fan of MashTape, and have spent the last hour or so re-reading your javascript code for inspiration on how you did it, but this article explains all. Many thanks!</p> You legend!

Is there a way to get the entire article text? It looks like using the blob API only returns me an excerpt from the article.

What if it was easy for panes to programatically control their visibility and dimensions?

Mozilla sidebars get setSidebarWidth() and toggleSidebar() (See http://developer.mozilla.org/en/docs/Code_snippets:Sidebar)

Also, are you familiar with TabContentChange? It’s a controversial new event that makes it easy to track the state of the browser. (See http://dekiwiki.songbirdnest.com/index.php?title=Platform%26Player/Recipes/Tabbed_Browser)
