Page Sidebar to have dynamic height

[teckliew]

Allow sidebar to have dynamic height and overscroll so that scrolling the sidebar won't affect the scrolling of the main content.

Also resized the sidebar's width to make room for the scrollbar.

**maybe have sidebar position fixed, so that its height is the height of the window?
The only thing I haven't figured out is how to shrink the sidebar height to make way for the footer when scrolling the main content to the bottom.

It will be important to verify that this change works well on pages with varying lengths of content; (some that have a scroller, some that don't). There was extensive testing done on screen sizes and page layout for all types and amounts of content, sidebar content amount, and all scenarios like those.

Yep, the proposed change makes sidebar's height equal the height of the main content to its right:

• If the main content is taller than the sidebar, then it'll appear exactly the same as how it is now.
• If the sidebar is taller, then it will be the height of main content with its own scrolling.

What would make it better is if the sidebar is the height of the window, but the footer makes it a bit complicated to implement that.

@teckliew , @webOS101 - are these changes still needed? should they be merged in? Thanks.

Let's discuss when @Djspaceg returns. It's definitely an improvement, but I think we might can do it even better.
