very nice, and very useful...can you make it a one click thing? right now I have to click on the bookmarklet and then click on split view. If it was just one link that would be awesome. I wonder if this can be tweaked to work from within Google Reader, hmmm..I'll tinker with that a bit.

thanks again!

I turned this into a Greasemonkey script for any Firefox users.

If the author doesn't like it, PM me, and I'll delete this post and the Userscripts.org post.

Quite the contrary, thanks for doing it! I used to be worried by the constant security issues when Greasemonkey came out (back in the day). I never got into it and now I use Safari. Do you know if this works under Creammonkey for Safari? I may go install it if it does.

I have no idea. All I did really was copy all the Firefox relevant lines out of the functions and if statements, so they'd get executed right as the page loads. I'm now going to try to get it to work without your web link, so if your website goes down, the script will still work. If you want any credit, just tell me, and I'll add what I can :)

I just modified it so that it would prompt for install when you clicked Install Script. GreaseKit for Safari doesn't have an Install User Script option...work in progress.

I don't understand what you changed? Can you please elaborate?

I just wrapped your code in a closure so it would run immediately. This makes GreaseKit or Greasemonkey prompt you to install. This way you don't have to go and install it manually.

Thanks for turning me back on to userscripts!

Doesn't work for me on Firefox 2

I was able to install it just fine. I'm on OS X with FF2.

I think that would require the script running at the loading of the page. This could probably be done with a Greasemonkey script (Creammonkey for Safari).
