this code in html , css template allows me hide left hand nav menu , other left hand column items.

by default, left hand column contents show.  have click hide.  on every page go on site.

what when page not index.php have closed default.  instance when user goes forums, left hand column hidden unless want call fancy snippet of code.

if not possible, alternative have left hand column goes away pages bar front page.  need top nav stuff on top of other pages.

basically trying achieve have on joomla site here.  want fancy joomla news etc on front page, when users go forums , other aspects of website better under full width screen, keep joomla top stuff not left or right columns.

i using latest version of joomla, smf 1.1 rc3 , 1.6 smf bridge.  using js lunar eclipse template joomlashack.
