Issues with width of container

I don't have the time to get overly specific, but remember that 100% is relative to its parent. I saw some CSS that gave some padding in places that could be contributing, but the .divider is in fact doing 100% width. I used the Web Developer Toolbar add-on for Firefox to see how everything lined up. Using that and Firebug (add-on) you should be able to see where you can make your fixes.

You should really start over. Forget about this error, just rewrite your code from the ground up, it's full of bugs and errors.

After having a brief look, I can see it's not your code, but it's copied from somewhere. Start writing your own, or debug this one.

In your CSS, use url('link') instead of url(link). You've made this mistake three or four times. Also, go here and look over the tag list. You are only allowed to use these ones, so no <adjective> tag. When you need to edit small bits, use a span. For example, instead of <adjective>, create a new CSS ID, #adjective, and use <span id="adjective"> instead of the current implementation.

Next, when using anything else except for alphanumeric characters, instead of using, say &, use &. You can find a list here. So, instead of ", use ", and so on. You only need the HTML Name column, not the ASCII or the HTML Number.

Many many other things which would require a rewriting from the ground up. For example, DO NOT use any content tag outside of the BODY. You've done this... TWICE. And close them inside of the BODY tag...

Just have a look over the Validator. It helps a lot, especially if you're still learning.

As for the error, God knows... perhaps you could use width: 30px and margin: 0 auto in the divider, which, by the way, is a CLASS instead of an ID, although it is only used ONCE...

Thank you, angelwatt. I still don't understand this error, the container (which is it's parent, correct?), is set at 900px (width of white background = 900px). If you have more time, could you explain to me more in depth. Thanks if you can!

Width of white background = 914px (give or take) actually. The black bar that's dividing is 900px wide though. I'm attaching an image to illustrate. I used the Web Developer Toolbar, which has a ruler that I have stretched across the white background. As you can see where the red arrow is pointing, the width is measures is larger than you think.

Actually, Not Available, it is my code. Thanks for your help though.

Well then, I'd say you've spent more time on decorating the comments than writing the actual code. I don't know where you're learning from, but I'd say it annoys you more than it makes you understand things.
