Unfortunately, one of the problem I had was that, to collapse horizzontally, is not so simple because adiacent divs should be also adjusted. For example, to use this to collapse the left-column, even the main-content div width (or margin-left) should be changed. This was one of the reason I stopped this way of doing it. :-(
