yeah, my bad. i edited the original post...again.
the following code should have gone before the main DIV in minicartdd.tpl
Code:
<table align="right">
<tr><td border="0"><a href="cart.php" id="searchlink" rel="subcontent">shopping bag</a>
</td></tr></table><br />
so in your case, just replace what you have in your minicartdd.tpl with what's now in the original post.
