#content {

}
That's a huge margin on the right side of the content div. Plus there are no
width specified for either of the divs: #content & #primary. If you're not
going to specify a width you should at least float the content div left along w
the primary div float right as you have.

> But here is what I found out: On the startpage the structure within the #main

> <div id="container">
> <div id="content">
> </div>
> <div id="primary">
> </div>
> </div>
> <div id="footer">
> </div>
