I've installed the script under Safari and FF2 and I don't notice anything happening. Is it overwriting the existing links? I didn't do that because sometimes I may only want to quickly see the comments or main article. Firebug doesn't seem to be showing me any errors either. BTW: I like the title of your blog, "Artfully Underemployed" :)

If you installed it for the first time, make sure you turn the feature on. Look for the link called "blacklist" in the top bar of HN, which will pull up the options for the script. Check the box next to split view. Since this is becoming more than just the simple blacklist script it originally was, I suppose I should rename it or something to make that more clear. ;) Oh and I almost forgot, thanks for the brilliant idea!

  Cool, I got it to work in FF. It doesn't work under Safari (no blacklist in the toolbar). I noticed extra scroll bars in FF but my guess is that's because there is some css padding/margin stuff applied to the body. Because it overrides the page itself you can't click "Back" or Alt+Left or whatever to go back to the list of stories. I did go back and add the check for if I'm already inside the frameset to my code though. Gotta prevent those recursive split views :). Now if you surf back to the main page in the right frame and click on a SplitView link it will reload both frames. I will look at it in Safari some and see if I can figure out what the deal is there. Safari's Activity window doesn't show any errors. I'll also see what I can think of for the Back button issue when doing it your way. That may not be a big deal to anyone else though.

    I'll keep the back button thing in mind when I look at it again... and I noticed the weird scrollbar stuff too. I'll have to fix that at some point. I've been up since 4pm yesterday, and seeing as how it is noon, think I'm going to head towards bed for a bit. Maybe it'll all be clear when I wake up.
