Hi guys,

Can you take a look at my css and html below and see if you can tell why my content div is stretching more than the defined 524px set in the css.

Sorry for the use of tables and horrible formatting. I got handed this site at work and dont really want to rebuild it if I don't have to.

Thanks!

Paddings and borders are adding to the width of the element. Remove the padding or decrease the element size accordingly (in your case by 50px to compensate for left and right padding).

Also this:

#content a, a:link, a:active {color: #0a86ca; text-decoration: underline;}
#content a:hover, a:hover:visited {color: #f20023; text-decoration: none;}
#content a:visited {color: #888; text-decoration: underline;}

Has to be sorted like this:

#content a, a:link, a:active {color: #0a86ca; text-decoration: underline;}
#content a:visited {color: #888; text-decoration: underline;}
#content a:hover, a:hover:visited {color: #f20023; text-decoration: none;}

The general sort order is link, visited, hover, active.
