# Variable Width Footer Columns

 * Not sure if this is possible – I am sure I’ve seen it in some themes before.
 * I’d like to add 3 columns to the footer that are variable widths depending on
   if they have content in them. For example if I place content in only 1 widget
   it will expand to fill 2/3 of the footer, if I place content in all 3 widgets
   they will each take up 1/3 of the footer.
 * If anyone knows if this is possible and can lead me in right direction I would
   appreciate the assistance.

 * look into the coding of Twenty Eleven;
 * particular, the relevant section in functions.php is:
 *     ```
       /**
        * Count the number of footer sidebars to enable dynamic classes for the footer
        */
       function twentyeleven_footer_sidebar_class() {
       ....
       ```
   
 * and check the corresponding section in style.css in this area:
 *     ```
       /* =Footer
       ```

 * Thanks. I knew it had to be out there somewhere – just didn’t know where to start
   looking!
