Take a look at

All of the inside pages have the hide nav style design I think your talking
about.

good designers copy, great designers steal

Subject: [WSG] liquid 2-3 column layout

Hi,
I'd like to make a site with the option of 2 or 3 columns.
The Nav column (left)and content column (centre) would always be present.
The news column on the right would be optional.
___

|
| Nav  |Content |  News   |

Does anyone on the list know of a way to make the Content fill the whole
space of content and nav when nav is not present?

I believe you mean To steal ideas from one person is plagiarism  to 
steal from many is research :-)

In practical terms this means don't just copy sitepoints (or anyone 
else's) code directly because this is neither ethical or legal and you 
wont learn how to do it properly

Instead find other sites that achieve the same effect, compare and 
contrast, and cobble together the ideal solution for your needs

Skidoo Too is exactly what you want, the right column can be flipped out 
with an extra bit of stylesheet, demos at the URL.

We've used it many times, good code and no strings :-)

You could always go to where sitepoint got their code from
http://cross-browser.com/x/examples/x_3col_fm.html
and use the GNU Lesser General Public License code.
That would be both legal and ethical (as long as you abide by the terms).

One way you might be able to do this would be to use a little php
giving  the Content and News changable ID names and then you could
control the rest by options in your css.

Along the same lines that the central content is displayed or not on
