Pandora Musical Positions Fix - Pandora's Jar tuner move fix

[Cynagen]

Pandora is not suppost to move! It keeps shifting up and to the left! How many other people are sick of this happening, despite repeated "fixes" that only seem to work for 66% of us? How about a PERMANENT FIX. Yeah, that's right, I said Permanent. That big bad scary word in the world of pandora's dynamics. C'MON, I shouldn't have been the one to find this, but whatever, since I did, and it works on my work Mac, my Mac laptop i carry everywhere with me, my home PC, and my PC at work, and my friend's PC, here's my [PANDORA MUSICAL POSITIONS FIX]. Yes, I just came up with that name, sue me.

Whatever version of Pandora's Jar you're using, if your Pandora music player shifts for no reason, try this.

Open up the pandoraGrabber.html and find the following lines:

<div id="TunerContainer">



    <iframe src="http://www.pandora.com/?cmd=mini" scrolling=no></iframe>



    <script type="text/javascript" src="js/pandora.js"></script>



</div>

Now, strip out the IFRAME and SCRIPT leaving just the DIV and /DIV tags, this is still our container and needed to make this trickery work. (Pandora's flash script appearantly checks for this crap.)

Paste in this code found from the pandora.com MAIN PAGE. -NOT THE MINI THE MAIN PAGE ONLY- I have only had failure with the Mini's code, (MAYBE BECAUSE IT'S THE CODE THAT ALLOWS THE SHIFTING, hint hint guys.)

</div>

Save and refresh the localhost window.

I'd also like to point out, for those on Macs, please open the "pandora.sh" file, and redo ALL the case returns/new lines ("enter/returns" at the end of a line), since otherwise it will complain about bad interpreter.

Now somebody else who suffered like me tell me how my fix worked out for them already dangit!

-Angry Pandora Jar user now happy because he fixed what was broken.

NICE! I'm going to try this as soon as I get home. My Javscript on/off toggle trick was getting annoying to use.

I'll post back if this works for me.
