Color
The left sidebar has a width of 7.5em and the right sidebar has a width of 10em. The width of each sidebar changes when the browser's fontsize is changed.
  • The menu's fontsize and button dimensions are specified in 'em' units. The menu's width is 7.5em (same as the left column width). Change the default fontsize in your browser to see how the menu can be scaled up or down...
    ...and note how the width of the left column also changes.
  • The menu is relatively positioned at (0, 0) within a <div> named 'leftnav' that is part of the flowed content in the sidebar on the left.
