What do you do when you're working from a Dreamweaver-templated page and need to make a simple tweak? Enter jQuery!

Problem: The page I'm editing was set up as a page with a sidebar, but the content given doesn't need a sidebar. Solution: With the help of jQuery, I eliminated the sidebar and widened the main content column. Magic!

jQuery code: $(document).ready(function(){ //when document has loaded... $('div#sidebar').remove(); //remove sidebar $('div#main').css('width', '950px'); //increase width of main div }); //this bit of jQuery expands the main content area without having to recreate the page in a sidebar-free template

I'm only super happy about this because I am very new to jQuery and I wrote this from what little I knew of the language already. An accomplishment and step in the right direction for a newbie.
