I ended up answering my own question by adding the following to the bottom of the themes associated local.css file: hide the sidebar, all media: @media (max-width: 900px) { .sidebar-first { display: none; } } John On Wed, Jan 4, 2012 at 1:25 PM, John Mitchell <mitchelljj98@gmail.com>wrote:

How can I collapse the *sidebar first* region when the browser width is less than 900 pixels wide?

Within the theme's .info file the following is set: settings[sidebar_first_width] = 4 How can I programatically change the above to 0 so that the *sidebar first* region does not take up any space within the page when the containing browser wide is less than 900 pixels wide?

One possible approach is to utilize the media query at the bottom of the themes associated .css file so that the *sidebar first* region is collapsed when less than 900 pixels based on the following link: http://www.alistapart.com/articles/responsive-web-design/ but I am not sure if this is the best approach or what css to put in that would do this as an example from the above link: @media screen and (max-device-width: 480px) { .column { float: none; } }
