@aj_nscApr 11.2012 — Because it's parent (#container) is only 1000px wide...A block-level child with width: auto (or no width declared at all) will expand to be the width of it's parent.

@OxtisauthorApr 11.2012 — but i didnt put it inside the container div tho.

i closed the container div then make another div called footer.

in this case the container is still the footer's parent ?

and how can i make it extend to fit the browser ?

[code=html]
<div id="content"><h3>Welcome to my website.
website is currently under construction.</</div> <!--end content-->
[/code]
