Thanks for fixing the sidebar.
However, the referenced documentation still suffers from this flaw in
most cases.
Of course, I have always some options if I decide I really want it
(like mirroring the docs and fixing them or overriding the style in the
browser).

OK, now I understand. Should be better now.
Thanks for pointing this out.

Great! Thanks!
It may be overkill to write an extension to do it, but it was the only way I found.
I works. A working solution which is a bit of overkill is a lot better than a simple solution that doesn't work. 
Perhaps in the future I could implement a local copy to use when offline.
That in fact might be overkill (but then, of course no one is forced to install something like that). I guess you'd duplicate a lot of material which people alread do have for offline consumption. The pickaxe book for example, or the StdLib docs.
Happy rubying

What is this supposed to do? In firebird 0.7, I get a "install script not found" message.
Thanks,

Well, the idea was to create a firefox sidebar, so the initial concern was that it render well in firefox, and open links in the main window.
It also happens to work if you just load the pages int the main window.
Once the pages, and the code that generates them, settles down, I was thinking of putting it on rubyforge. It's small, so we won't need bittorrent.
Then folks who want a variation can just download and munge up the source.
Oh, by the way. The Ruby sidebar is incredibly awesome. I think it's
the most useful tool for me since the Developer sidebar from Devedge.
Nice job to all parties
Thanks, and thanks to all those providing the content.

Hmm. Things hosted on ruby-doc.org could be fixed; things hosted on other sites are out of my control.
If I get some time I can see about changing the CSS for the copy of the PickAxe (it apparently does not set the body text nor link colors); the std-lib and core API docs are auto-generated. It seems they do not explicitly set a body text color either.
Of course, I have always some options if I decide I really want it
(like mirroring the docs and fixing them or overriding the style in the
browser).
Before you do that, could I trouble you to list what specific problems you see? Might be simpler all around to try to fix it at the source.
Thanks,

It'll install a firefox extension, 0.9 and 0.10 only.
In ProgrammingRuby all text and link colors are unspecified (except
headings) and the builtins.html has a built-in stylesheet and does not
use the global one.
In std and core text color is unspecified and links are fine. But the
link color and visited color are the same (or almost the same). I find
it sometimes helpful if I can see where I were.
Tutorial in ruby-doc-bundle has only link color. No text, background nor
visited.
The other references point to other sites so I will only say that the FXruby
book is ok and the ruby cookbook is only missing visited which is not so
bad.
Thanks

Ah, OK. I'll try that on another machine with a later version.
Thanks.
