Add...

table { table-layout: fixed;}

...to prevent expansion beyond declared width.

No, the proper width is not maintained if you take off the background 
colour. It is just not visible that it sticks out then.
Also, this problem doesn't happen in Firefox, but only in IE.

I don't have time to take a copy to test locally, but my guess is that 
if you take out the first line at the top of the document, the  that holds the content, has a width 
set of 640px. Yet, inside it, is another table with 3 s, with a 
width of 241px each.
That just cannot officially fit :-)

[css-d] Problem with "extra" white space appearing

2009-03-03 Thread Joe Polk 
Thanks in advance for your consideration and help regarding this issue. I
helped my client purchase and implement a web site template for their new
business. Unfortunately, there is a problem with part of the CSS which
"pushes" out the content area of the site past the width that it is supposed
to go.

The web site is under development at http://www159.pair.com/ngllc/

As you will see, there is extra white space that pushes out the content of
every page. I've taken a look at the CSS and noticed that if I remove the
"background:#fff;" from this -- .content{ width:700px;background:#fff;} --
the proper width is maintained but i have a completely black background for
the content area. This "pushing" happens regardless of any color that I use.

Does anyone know how I can modify the stylesheet so that I can have the
white background in the content area, but have it not push out?

Thanks in advance for any and all assistance with this issue!
