Width so sidebar hidden first

  • If I change the browser from full screen to variable width and thus allow myself to shrink it, first of course the margins shrink. But once I run out of margins, it eats into both the content and sidebar. I see on other sites that it sacrifices the sidebar first. What controls that?

    I see that the other sites when I view code still seem to specify both a width for the header (and thus total of content and sidebar) and a width for the sidebar. I also tried removing the width of the sidebar from my css, but that didn’t do it.

    There’s also a wrapper, and of course I do want to keep control so that the sidebar doesn’t sudden drop below or protrude into content, so I’ll stay fixed rather than fluid width. Thank you.

    Twenty Eleven for instance uses the ‘responsive structure’ section in the last third of style.css

    generally, this is a css problem, not wordpress related

    Oh, absolutely it’s a css question, and I’m grateful if it’s ok to pose that in the use of WordPress to build the site:

    https://www.haberarts.com/

    find this in style.css:

    /* #rap style added by DF */
#rap {
       padding: 0;
       width: 900px;
       position: relative;
       left : 50%;
       margin-left: -450px;
}

    and change to:

    /* #rap style added by DF */
#rap {
       padding: 0;
       width: 900px;
       margin: 0 auto;
}

    if you resize the browser window, the content should stop at the left edge, and the sidebar should disappear first.

    Thanks. To be honest, when I looked at the wrapper specs yesterday, and could not remember what the designer I worked with meant them to do, and I still don’t. It has me puzzled, although I do recall their being added to solve . . . I don’t know. I’ll give it a try later and see what happens.
