Mask over the sidebar about sidebar HOT 2 CLOSED

Have you downloaded the latest version of the plugin? Be sure to have followed the instructions. And if this might help you, use these test pages which works as they should.

The plugin is not meant to change the cursor while hovering a link, you should tweak it in your css.

Did you added in you CSS this style attributes for .sidebar-wrapper?

.sidebar-wrapper {
    position: relative;
    height: 100%;
    overflow: auto;
}

You are using .close-sidebar in the wrong way. As in the guide, the closingLinks method must be attached to links, not to tables:

<table width="100%" height="100%" border="0">
    <tr>
    <td align="center" valign="middle">
        <a class="close-sidebar" href="http://google.com" target="_blank">google</a><br /><br />
        <a class="close-sidebar" href="http://google.com" target="_blank">google</a><br /><br />
        <a class="close-sidebar" href="http://google.com" target="_blank">google</a><br /><br />
        <a class="close-sidebar" href="http://google.com" target="_blank">google</a>
    </td>
    </tr>
</table>

Plus table must not be use for layout, they are meant to hold data such as in spreadsheets. Consider not to use tables at all since they are hard to tweak and almost always break layouts. (If you need more reason not to use tables, I won't provide you them, google for them).

Try to add a higher zIndex in the plugin method! See options.

Are you sure that Meteor supports jQuery?

The last thing I can think of is to check for mistakes in your CSS file.

Consider to check test pages for a valid model.

I did follow the instructions and the cursor is default on links so no css tweaking is required as long as the links are in front, but they aren't because the mask if over them for some reason.

It could very well be a browser issue, I don't know.

All I know is that I finally gave up and wrote up my own slidebar, so I will continue with that one now...
