Left menu bar

[Moose Whisperer]

Is there any way to turn off the left menu bar completely if I wanted to add my own navigation system? I see how to turn off the flyout menu, but is there a switch to easily turn of the left bar as well?

Thanks

Sure, with CSS.

Change the CSS

Code:

.leftSideBar {
  width: 9.5em;
  float: left;
  clear: left;
  display: none;
}

and for the #main-copy and #main-copy-dark CSS, change the margin to

Code:

  margin: .1em 0 0 0.1em;

and the left sidebar will hide entirely and the main display area will fill the page.

Best regards,

Awesome!

Thanks Ken

BTW, what does the "em" stand for?

It's a typographical measure (from printer's days).

Dashes came in two widths .. a narrow one (en dash) the width of a 'n' (or 'N') and a wider one (em dash) in the width of a 'm' (or 'M') character.

1em = width of one em dash.
