Inexplicably, while the Netscape browser has a little button to click
on to open the sidebar, Mozilla lacks this feature, which has always
annoyed me.  So tonight I thought, perhaps it's possible to create a
bookmarklet that would open and close the sidebar which I could put on
my toolbar.  But I've been searching around for an hour and the only
thing I've seen referenced is SidebarShowHide(), which sounds good but
when I typed javascript:SidebarShowHide(), nothing happened.

Can someone tell me how to do this?  If no one knows of a function but
can tell me how to make the browser think the F9 key has been hit that
should work as well.
