Interact Intranet: Expanding your content - literally

Content pages in Interact Intranet are made up of 3 zones.

1. Side navigation
2. Content
3. Options (Author, rating, etc.)

The 3rd zone occupies valuable real estate and displays regardless of whether any Options are enabled.
Occasionally you may find yourself not wanting to use any options and wishing you could extend your content into zone 3.  Luckily that is possible and is extremely easy to do on a content by content basis.
The width of the 2nd zone is fixed using the CSS width property of .DocumentContentsHTML.
Within your web page document you can add some inline CSS styling to override this property and move from a 3 zone layout to a 2 zone layout as shown in the pictures below.

The code to override this element would look like this:

<STYLE type=text/css>
    .DocumentContentsHTML{width:750px;}
</STYLE>

 

Caveat: This was done in 5.1.4 and it is possible that future upgrades might overwrite a modification like this.
