I have 2 Dojo Dijit ContentPane's side by side. I want to show/hide one of them, and have the other one stretch dynamically as needed. I am using an ESRI mapping example which uses 'dijit.layout.BorderContainer'. The "divRightMenu" will show/hide itself correctly, but, when opened, rather than pushing the "mapDiv" Div, it just appears on top of it. I want the "mapDiv" div to dynamically resize itself depending on the visible state of the "divRightMenu" div.
I'm including the full page code below - I have already experimented with style.Display = Block / None, style.Visibility = Visible/Hidden, as well as trying to dynamically set the width of divRightMenu from 1 pixel to 150 pixels. In all cases, divRightMenu appears "on top of" mapDiv, rather than "pushing" it like I want. If I change the code so that divRightMenu is visible by default on page load, then what happens when i hide it is it disappears, but the blank spot it once occupied still remains. Surely this is something simple I'm missing?
In the past (standard CSS), I would combine "float:left/right" with "overflow:hidden", and display:block/none, and could easily achieve the effect I'm after, but with Dojo/Dijit i'm not sure what i'm missing. I experimented with various combinations of float/overflow on the inline styling of the 2 DIV tags in question, but was unable to get it to work. I also noted that one poster mentioned that he programmatically created his dijit ContentPanes on the fly to overcome the issue, but I was hoping for a solution other than this (i need all the settings from the div's content to be retained between showing/hiding the div, and i'm not sure if re-creating it on the fly will allow for this).
Here are the 2 threads I found that touch on the topic:
Dojo Toggle Hide and Show Divs
Toggling the display of a Dojo dijit
These mainly deal with being able to hide the div or not. In my case I'm able to hide/show it, but just not able to get the desired auto-resize behavior from the remaining DIV.
In any case, full code sample is included below - any help would be appreciated:
