    Default changing the width of my site?

    when i go in to the css and i change the width the only thing that changes is the header and the body stays the same how can I change the whole width of the site? and make it center it self again?


    .centershop {
    padding: 0px;
    margin: 0px auto;
    /*position: relative;*/
    text-align: left;
    width: 751px !important;

    IF you're talking about this site:http://orange20bikes.com/bikeshop/ (I looked at your other posts)....

    Instead of changing the width there, change the width in #mainWrapper

    Then you'd need to make your logo smaller.

    Remove float:left; from your body tag, and the site will center itself again.

    You're probably having difficulties because both stylesheet_new.css and stylesheet_original.css are both online. Delete one or the other from the server, so that changes you make in one aren't canceled out by the other.

    ETA: But the answer is still the same... change the width of #mainWrapper instead. Remove all other instances of 751. You also have a typo here:

    .main_page{
    width: 751% !important;
    background-color: #000000;
    border-right: 1px solid #9a9a9a;
    border-left: 1px solid #9a9a9a;
    border-bottom: 1px solid #9a9a9a;
    padding: 5px;
    }

    Then you'll need a wider logo. or will need to center it.
