After mastering CSS and being able to create columns alongside content with a fixed number of columns, I now face a new challenge. This time, the number of columns may vary from page to page. The issue is that in my HTML, I don't want to specify the sidebar content before the main page content as I did before.
I envision the HTML structure to look like this:
<div id="container">
<div id="content">
<!-- Main body content goes here. -->
</div>
<div class="sidebar">
<!-- Sidebar DIV should appear to the right of the content DIV. -->
</div>
<div class="sidebar">
<!-- Another sidebar DIV that ideally appears to the right of the previous one. -->
</div>
<!-- Additional sidebar DIVs can follow here. -->
</div>
I am contemplating floating the content/sidebar DIVs, setting them to position absolute, specifying width, or other CSS properties to ensure that the content adjusts automatically to accommodate varying numbers of sidebars. Notably, each sidebar will have a constant size.
div.sidebar {
width: 100px;
}
Additionally, any suggestions on improving the HTML structure (such as grouping all sidebar DIV elements under a parent DIV like <div id="sidebars">) are welcome too.
