I am trying to hide the left nav on secondary pages in my SP 2010 pub site. I can do it just fine with an tag around the nav table, but then on the secondary pages it doesn't hold it's width when it does display. I put an image in there below the nav to hold the width and it does, but it does not disappear on any page with the . Any thoughts?

    <asp:ContentPlaceHolder ID="LeftNavTableCell" runat="server">
        <table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" id="LeftNav">
            <tr>

        </table>
    </asp:ContentPlaceholder>

On the pagelayouts I don't want this on I have this:

<asp:Content ContentPlaceHolderId="LeftNavTableCell" runat="server"></asp:Content>

but the image still shows up.

You can use a couple simple lines of CSS markup to hide the left panel. This will hide all left panel content (including the Quick Launch).

#s4-leftpanel {
  display: none;
}
.s4-ca {
  margin-left: 0px;
}

If that's a viable solution for you, you could reference a javascript framework like jQuery and hide the left nav by default by overriding 'display' CSS property of the left nav container with 'none' and setting it back to 'block' using conditional javascript calls like the following

 if (/\/Pages\/ShouldShowLeftNav\.aspx/i.test(location.href)) $(selector).show();

Here is a basic workaround to hide the left nav:

  1. Add or Edit a content editor web part.

  2. Add this text to the source view:

    .ms-navframe{ display:none; }
