Hi, i have the following web page layout.. What im failing to understand is why the content div is displaying outside of its parent wrapper div on the right hand side..
Code as follows and thanks for any help..
@charset "utf-8"; /* CSS Document */
* { margin: 0; padding: 0; }
html, body { height: 100%; }
body { padding-top: 10px; background: url(../images/background.jpg) no-repeat center top;; }
div#wrapper { margin: auto; height: auto; width: 978px; min-width: 978px; min-height: 100%; margin: 0 auto -4em; }
div#header { height: 196px; }
#navigation { list-style: none; margin: 0; padding: 0; height: 69px; }
#navigation li { float: right; }
#navigation li a { display: block; width: 140px; text-align: center; color: red; font-size: 120%; height: 69px; }
#navigation li a:hover { background:url(../images/menu_red_bg.jpg);
color: yellow; }
div#content { width: 978px; background-color:#39F; margin-top: 80px;
overflow:auto; padding-bottom: 150px; padding-left: 50px; padding-right: 50px; }
div#footer { position: relative; margin-top: -150px; /* negative value of footer height */ height: 150px; clear: both; padding: 5px; }
.leftCol { float: left; }
.rightCol { float: right; }
