Auto Width of the Post Area

  • The sidebar expands depending on the amount of material you have in it. Once you get to the bottom of your sidebar you have a sizable length of empty space. Is there a way to make your posts automatically fill that empty space once the bottom of the sidebar is reached?
    Thanks….

  • What you are describing – flowing text – is the default behavior for text as it flows round a floated element. Just float the menu.

    OK…I think I understand. You take the square root of C and divide it by the sum of php minus css, add brackets, quotation marks and semi-colons then pay to have MT 3.0 installed!

    The only thing I know how to float is my rubber ducky!
    Where would I float the menu? Is it in the css or the index? Which menu am I floating?
    Thanks…

    What I am about to propose should work fine but I need to add a disclaimer first. It is greatly beneficial to have the content first on the page. It aids accessibility and – more importantly – greatly assists the search engines. That is not going to be possible in this case.
    So step #1 put all your links before the content by cutting and pasting in the index php. Do a clean cut from #menu and be sure to cut the div closer(s).
    Step2 in the CSS put #menu { float:right; width: xxx px;.}
    That should be it. It will certainly get you started. Might be best to do it on a test install. :). If it borks do not worry. We can fine tune from there.
