Managing the placement of a sidebar in a responsive design can be tricky, especially when the sidebar content is crucial on some pages but not on others. One solution may involve switching the order of div elements in the HTML code, but this approach might not always be ideal.
Having different div orders on different pages could potentially impact search engine optimization efforts. For example:
<div id="container">
<div id="content">content</div>
<div id="sidebar">sidebar</div>
</div>
versus
<div id="container">
<div id="sidebar">sidebar</div>
<div id="content">content</div>
</div>

Exploring alternative solutions that allow for consistent HTML structure regardless of sidebar placement could be beneficial. Perhaps CSS techniques could offer a way to achieve this goal?
