I have read about a hundred posts about this and even though I SHOULD have been able to figure this out from the posts, I can not.   All I want to do is render the right pane useless or take it out all together.  At the same time I would like to make the page one width.  I do not want DNN to auto adjust. 

I have tried to change the style sheet in the site settings to no avail (here I made a length of say 20 for the right pane).  I phyically went into the default portal file and changed it there (didn't work either) and I went into the 0 portal file (didn't work either).  So I am obviously missing something really big (and w/my luck something simple).  As for the directions that come w/the program, I can not make head nor tails out of it.  I am getting nowhere fast and getting extremely stressed in the process.

Can anyone please walk me through this step-by-step?  Treat me like a 5 year old if you have to... tell me how, where, when....  etc.

Thank you in advance!

Do you want to modify the skin or just make the RightPane hidden with CSS?

If you want to just hide it with CSS, there is a pretty simple way.

Look at the source of the page with the skin and search for "RightPane"

You should find a line that looks something like this.

<td id="dnn_RightPane" valign="top" align="left" class="RightPane" width="0"></td>

Now, with that information you can get at that element with CSS in two different ways:

With it's class selector

.RightPane {
   visibility:hidden;
}

Or with it's ID selector:

#dnn_RightPane {
   visibility:hidden;
}

This method will hide it, but it will still be available for adding modules to as an admin, and if it has modules already in it, then they will dissapear also.

If you want to take it off your skin completely, you will need to modify the skin file and remove that element.

Here lies my first problem...  when you say look at the source....  what are you talking about?  is it inside DNN, is it the files located on my computer?

View the source of the html page through your browser.

In IE go to View > Source on the main menu.

In FF go to View > Page Source on the main menu.

I am just NOT getting it.  I downloaded your free style sheet editor and used both the magic wand and the manual control.  I changed it on my "test" page but nothing changed.  I also went into the style sheet for the site and changed it, but it still shows up.  I really don't understand why it is not working.

One other question (which may or may not have anything to do w/it) is about your editor.  It says that I have to add the editor to my .ascx skins and says what to change.  However, it doesn't say WHERE to change it at.  I still get the little icon at the top and it opens and all.  Would this keep it from changing the sheet?  Regardless, why did it not hide the pane when i did it on the site css?

From all the posts I am reading, it sounds so easy.  So, why then, when I try it IT NEVER WORKS????
