This place seems pretty helpful. My last question was answered very quickly, so I'll ask another.

Alright, here's the page: http://ppd.phpnet.us/
The effect I'm trying to get is have the white section extend all the way across the screen. In IE, it worked fine. But for Firefox, it gave me scroll bar on the bottom that scrolled to give enough room for the whole page to be filled with that blank white space.

I got rid of that scroll bar simply by using the overflow function for the whole page, but I don't think that's a good solution.
Is there another way I can do this, or change the coding or whatever?


You can just view the source if you want to look at my code, and the CSS file is here: http://ppd.phpnet.us/style.css

You could try putting one "container" div around all of everything else.

The XHTML would look something like this:

<div id="container">

	  <div id="header">
	  </div>

	  <div id="content">

etc...

And the CSS would be like this:

#container{
	width:100%
	}

You might get what I'm saying, but it's basically just defining the boundary of everything else like the #header and #content instead of relying on the page's boundary.

EDIT: Fixed my horrendous mistake. Thanks coolaid

OMG I ALWAYS DO THAT > And only with the width property. Wtf is wrong with me?

Um, that didn't work. The page still stretches out farther in Fireworks.

I'd host it to show you, but for some reason I can't log in my FTP account...

It worked now (uploading the files).
