Layout problem. Div stretching more than it should.
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.
HTML:
Code:
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd">
<html>
<head>
<title>AFCEA - West 2008</title>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1">
<LINK REL=stylesheet HREF="style.css" TYPE="text/css">
<script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript">
<!--
function validate(form)
{
if(form.cvipcode.value == "")
{
alert("Please enter a VIP number.");
form.cvipcode.focus();
return(false);
}
else
{
return(true);
}
}
-->
</script>
</head>

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:
Code:
#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:
Code:
#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 .
