How do I get rid of "Add This" box at the top of the screen?

Question

All it does is get in my way and there's no X to click it off -_-
This is very frustrating because it blocks my from clicking on links and it scrolls with the page so it blocks text that I want to read as well.
Any help would be nice.

Answer 1

qfreed, you are right. I am using IE and it is an annoyance but it doesn't show yp in Firefox.
It shows in my FireFox but never before today. It's clearly in the HTML (you can see the reference in the source. As Quentin suggested, it's the "expanded" version that should pop-up if you click on the (small and unobjectionable) bookmarks bar. This new one is a second copy of the same thing that appears already expanded and placed so that you can't dismiss/close the pop-up window.

Answer 2

There's an applet/widget that's being loaded dynamically. (type="text/javascript" src="http://s7.addthis.com/custom/techcrunch/addthis_widget.js") This means that if the people at s7.addthis.com modify their code (as they appear to have done recently) and introduced a bug (as they appear to have done), the "Dictionary" page will begin to misbehave even though the HTML over which SpanishDict has direct control has not been changed. One can only hope that the users of the sites (such as ours) that make use of addthis.com's functionality will complain (indirectly) and steps will be taken to fix the bug.
