<p>Until (if ever) such a feature is added to PerlMonks, you can use JavaScript to manipulate the DOM objects to attain the desired effect. Add the code following to your [Free Nodelet Settings|Free Nodelet]. Make sure your Free Nodelet is being [Nodelet Settings|displayed].
<c>
<script type="text/javascript">
// ========================================
// Move nodelets to the left side.
function move_nodelets() {
for each (var td in document.getElementsByTagName('td')) {
if (td.className != 'nodelets')
continue;
var tr = td.parentNode;
var main = tr.firstChild;
tr.insertBefore(td, main);
}
}
move_nodelets();
</script>
</c>
<p>Tested successfully in FireFox 1.5.0.7.
<br>Tested <em>unsuccessfully</em> in IE 6.0.2900.2180.xpsp_sp2_gdr.050301-1519, although I'm sure it could be made to work by someone more knowledgable.
<p><b>Update</b>: Clarified Until => Until (if ever).
<br><b>Update</b>: Title change.
<br><b>Update</b>: An updated version of this code found in [id://583256]. The core logic has been simplified and it has extra logic to delay execution to a safe time (allowing it to work in IE).
