@WebJoelMar 23.2008 — #Probably there is something being added to the width, like another DIV to it's left? Is there a left-hand navigation that is not being included in the container "#content"? width:100%; means "100% as wide as the screen", which is not the same thing as "width:auto". Width:[I]auto[/I]; would merely occupy whatever available space is left and is more suited for fluid layout.
So a container that holds a left-hand navigation of, say, 200px wide, and has "#content" to it's right that is "width:100%;", [I]that[/I] is "100% the [I]width of your viewscreen[/I] plus margins plus padding plus [I]width of left-hand DIV[/I].
Would need to see your code, but the description seems to suggest that this is what you have going on. ?
im using IE6 and it looks fine locally, its just when i view it on the internet that it goes off the screen. it views fine live with firefox though. could it be an ie6 bug?
@CentauriMar 24.2008 — #Get rid of the "auto" in the margin property - IE will have problems with auto side margins if no width is set or there is no room for side margins (as is the case with 100% width).
As "auto" is the default value for width, it also does not need to be specified.
