Dynamic Layout Adaptation: Adjusting Main-Content Width with Changing Contexts

  • visibility is a CSS attribute that can be used in place of attribute display
    • It works great with static widths.
  • Optimal width is an illusion.
    • If a screen is small-enough, all widths are compromises.
    • If a content is big-enough, all widths are compromises.
    • When having small content in a big screen, be thankful for the luxury and move on.
      • Real work has very little to do with widths.
  • You have long gone beyond the point of “merely”.
  • Workflows can be as problematic as the applications.
    • Frequent toggling sounds problematic-enough.
  • You already know the right name: main-content-container
    • Take it with const main = document.getElementById("main-content-container")
    • Use it with main.style.width
  • Could also experiment with css class .w-full
    • currently set to width: 100%
  • Keep your expectations low.
