Related to CSS? Sort of. It probably is relates more to how you code,
whether you use a template program such as dreamweaver, hand-coding,
also whether you work in a scripting language like php as well. I do
what I can to keep pages light.
I have a couple sites with standard navigation, but depending on page,
the number of columns and the width defined in CSS stylesheet vary. In
the header I do an if/else test for a variable defined in the file - and
if necessary, the page will draw from either of two stylesheets or
simply incorporate a couple lines that will overwrite the width (or
possibly existence) of a column.
#left { width: 0; }
if test successful, say if $file == whatever.php
#left { width: 10em; }
Standard? Probably not, but it works very well.
