How can I adjust the size of a sidebar based on the width of the main content area?

 In the context of Salesforce, here are the steps given:-

Get the width of the main content area element

You can use the “document.getElementById()” or another suitable method to get the main content area element and then use the “offsetwidth” to get its width in pixels.

Adjust the width of the sidebar element

Once you have the width of the main content area, you can use this value to adjust the width of the sidebar element.

CSS styles

Try to make sure that you have the appropriate CSS styles for the sidebar and main content area.

Here is the coding structure given for the above steps:-

// Get the width of the main content area element

Const mainContent = document.getElementById(‘main-content’);

Const mainContentWidth = mainContent.offsetWidth;

// Adjust the width of the sidebar element

Const sidebar = document.getElementById(‘sidebar’);

Sidebar.style.width = `${mainContentWidth}px`; // Directly setting the width

// OR

// sidebar.classList.add(‘adjusted-width’); // Adding a CSS class for adjusted width

// CSS Styles (optional transition for smooth resizing)

Const sidebarStyles = `

    #main-content {

        /* Your styles for the main content area */

    }

    #sidebar {

        /* Your styles for the sidebar */

        Transition: width 0.3s ease; /* Optional: Adding a transition for smooth resizing */

    }

    .adjusted-width {

        Width: ${mainContentWidth}px; /* Your calculated width */

    }

`;

// Add the styles to the document

Const styleElement = document.createElement(‘style’);

styleElement.textContent = sidebarStyles;

document.head.appendChild(styleElement);

Here is the example given in java programming language:-

Import java.io.PrintWriter;

Public class WidthAdjustmentServlet extends HttpServlet {

    Protected void doGet(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response) 

      Throws ServletException, IOException {

        Response.setContentType(“text/html”);

        PrintWriter out = response.getWriter();

        // Java code to calculate main content width (replace this with your logic)

        Int mainContentWidth = 800; // Example width in pixels

        // Generate JavaScript code to adjust the sidebar width

        Out.println(“”);        Out.println(“document.addEventListener(‘DOMContentLoaded’, function() {“);        Out.println(“    var mainContentWidth = “ + mainContentWidth + “;”);        Out.println(“    var mainContent = document.getElementById(‘main-content’);”);

        Out.println(“    var sidebar = document.getElementById(‘sidebar’);”);

        Out.println(“    sidebar.style.width = mainContentWidth + ‘px’;”);

        Out.println(“});”);

        Out.println(“”);

        // Your HTML content

        Out.println(“”);        Out.println(“Width Adjustment”);

        Out.println(“”);

        Out.println(“Main Content”);

        Out.println(“Sidebar”);

        Out.println(“”);

        Out.println(“”);

    }

}Here is the python based example given:-

From flask import Flask, render_template

App = Flask(__name__)

@app.route(‘/’)

Def index():

    # Python code to calculate main content width (replace this with your logic)

    Main_content_width = 800  # Example width in pixels

    # JavaScript code to adjust the sidebar width based on main content width

    Js_code = f”””

    [removed]

        Document.addEventListener(‘DOMContentLoaded’, function() {{

            Var mainContentWidth = {main_content_width};

            Var mainContent = document.getElementById(‘main-content’);

            Var sidebar = document.getElementById(‘sidebar’);

            Sidebar.style.width = mainContentWidth + ‘px’;

        }});

    [removed]

    “””

    # Render the HTML with embedded JavaScript

    Return render_template(‘index.html’, js_code=js_code)

If __name__ == ‘__main__’:

    App.run(debug=True)
