Troubleshooting:

Camino users - Google keeps asking me to log in!

1. •Go to your browser preferences (Camino > Preferences..., Privacy) and choose “Accept cookies from any site”
   

The sidebar is blank, or it disappears

1. •Some pages (some wikis, for example) don’t work with this script because they break frames when placed into them. If you’ve ever noticed that some Google Image results refuse to have a header bar on top, this is a similar scenario.
   

2. •If the sidebar remains blank for a while, you need to login. Visit the Google Talk or Google Notebook gadgets to fix this, then try again.

Camino Instructions:

1. 1.Drag script to ~/Library/Scripts/Applications/Camino/ (~ means “in your Home folder”), or make the directory if you don’t have it.
   

2. 2.Customize the Camino Toolbar by right-clicking on it (make sure you have Camino 1.6 or higher), and drag the item labeled “Script: (your chosen extension)” into it.
   

3. 3.Click the toolbar icon on any page to open it in a new tab with a sidebar.

* Note: If you’d like a script that consistently opens the same page in the sidebar with a special icon, email me and I’ll consider making one for you.
