OK, so I think I've fixed my tiddler info problem so you can see the drop
down. I made it z-index over the top of the embedded iframe. It doesn't
slide the tiddler down, but at least you can see everything in the tiddler
info drop down and I get to keep my fully expanded iframe with controls
that show in the upper right corner. If you want to check it out, it's
at _canonical_uri
Example <http://t5a.tiddlyspot.com/#_canonical_uri%20Example>.
