    Hmm, are we talking about the same thing? I just see an extra button next to buttons that were already there anyway, and when I click on it a little overlay box pops ups that can be easily closed after copying the text? There shouldn't be anything more visible, I think. What does the share code box look like to you? Maybe this is a Javascript problem and can be fixed.

      It shows "Copy and paste to link back to this work: (CTRL/CMD-A will select all)" and the box with links between the "Comments # Light Style # Share" bar and the download bar.

      Like this:
      Comments | Light Style | Share
      Copy and paste to link back to this work: (CTRL/CMD-A will select all)

      And, yes, it is a Javascript problem, because it uses Javascript to hide the thing.

        Do you mean you have Javascript turned off? If you can't turn it on selectively for the AO3 domain, maybe something can be worked out to make the box degrade more gracefully. I'm not a coder though, just spitballing here. :-)

        ETA: Okay, I just disabled Javascript to try this out, maybe it might be of use to you. On your Dashboard, go to My Skins > Create New Skin, and paste this in:

        div#share { display: none; }

        You might have to enable the skin afterwards. This will effectively turn off the sharing feature for you, since the box won't even pop up when you click the button, whups. Just thought I'd suggest it anyway, in case you weren't planning on using it. :-)

          Unfortunately I can't turn on Javascript selectively. My favorite for this and a bunch of other menus - the fanfic filters get incredibly long - would be using the css hover abilities - but those are troublesome in IE browsers, yet totally sweet in Firefox and family and Opera.

          Sample menu displaying on hover - html part

          Sample menu - css part


          div.dm{display:inline; position:absolute; top:1px; left:64px; margin:0px; padding:0px;}
          div:hover.dm{ width:157px; }
          span.dmt{width:157px;  display:block;}
          div:hover.dm ul.dm {display:block; top:64px; left:64px;}
          ul.dm {list-style-type:square; list-style-position:outside; margin:0px; padding:0px; padding-left:15px; display:none; border-bottom:2px solid red; border-left:2px solid green; border-top:2px solid green; border-right:2px solid red;}

            Looks like the code tag gets ignored.

            Hackneyed sample menu html part:

            [div class="dm"]
            [span class="dmt"]
            [a href="" title="Menu Title" charset="utf-8" hreflang="en" tabindex="1" type="text/html" lang="en"]
            I'm the menu title
            [/a]
            [/span]
            [ul class="dm"]
            [li][a href="item 1" charset="utf-8"]I'm the first menu item[/a][/li]
            [li][a href="item 2" charset="utf-8"]I'm the second menu item[/a][/li]
            [li][a href="item 3" charset="utf-8"]I'm the third menu item[/a][/li]
            [li][a href="item 4" charset="utf-8"]I'm the fourth menu item[/a][/li]
            [/ul]
            [/div]

          Thanks for the css sample, I'll try it out.

          I can report back, that the css sample works on stories but not on comments.

          Bur I'm really happy to have at least that.
