// Floating sidebar
// Originally at http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Help:User_style/floating_quickbar

// Restructure the page so that the sidebar can be floated
$(function () {
    content = document.getElementById("column-content");	// Find the main content column

        // Move the footer into the main column so that it scrolls 
    footer = document.getElementById("footer");         // Find the footer
    footer.parentNode.removeChild(footer);              // Remove the footer from the global wrapper
    content.appendChild(footer);                        // Place footer at the end of the content column;

        // Move the tabs into the main column so that they scroll
    tabs = document.getElementById("p-cactions");       // Find the top tab list
    tabs.parentNode.removeChild(tabs);                  // Remove the tab list from the side column
    content.insertBefore(tabs,content.firstChild);      // Place tab list at the beginning of the content column

        // Move the personal links into the main column so that they scroll
    personal = document.getElementById("p-personal");   // Find the personal links list
    personal.parentNode.removeChild(personal);          // Remove the personal links list from the side column
    content.insertBefore(personal,content.firstChild);  // Place personal links list at the beginning of the content column

});

// This CSS should be hidden from older versions of IE using javascript instead of the attribute selector?

// Include style sheet inline so that script is self-contained:
