Stretching content width to 100% after sidebar disappears when scrolling
-
Hi guys, I’m working on a wordpress site right now that has a 960px width. I’m using the Toolbox template and building a child theme from it.
This theme uses the standard setup of a full width header and menu, followed by 2 columns of content (left) and sidebar (right) and followed by a full width footer.
Since 960px is pretty narrow with a sidebar and individual posts or pages could potentially have a lot of content, I would like the content to stretch out to 100% when you scroll down enough that the sidebar is no longer visible. I would like this to be dynamic, so when you scroll back up, the content would shrink again.
Here you can see that the content is making room for the sidebar/widget-area in the primary div and the content itself is being pushed back by the margin in the content div.
#primary { float: left; margin: 0 -240px 0 0; width: 100%; } #content { margin: 0 280px 0 0; } #main .widget-area { float: right; overflow: hidden; width: 220px; } #colophon { clear: both; display: block; width: 100%; } /* Increase the size of the content area for templates without sidebars */ .full-width #content, .image-attachment #content, .error404 #content { margin: 0; }
There’s even CSS already in for pages without sidebars setting margin to 0. Problem is that I have no idea how to automate this, so it could set the margin to 0 when the sidebar is no longer on screen.
TL;DR: When scrolling, I want to automate setting {margin: 0;} on a certain CSS selector when my sidebar is no longer visible on screen to stretch or shrink content.
Any suggestions? Thank you for your time.
