I tried with 960 pixels but still the yellow bar doesn't reach the max width,I am trying to make that bar to take all the browser page width,so I tried

html {max-width:960px;}

and

.menu {	width:960px;}

so it takes all the width of the browser page, but didn't work

I am a failure in the positioning :'(

also

 

about the table that I used in menu tabs , should I use instead of it the <ul><li> or divs or there is another way ?

I seriously tough I am ready to make a website rofl , thank you so much for the help guys

do this and see what happens: Then use your developer tools to decide what to do.

.menu {	width:1960px;}

There needs to be a beginners do's and don'ts then we just point to that page, save us repeating ourselves time and time and time again.

 

1) do not use tables for design layout.

2) do not use positioning especially absolute, unless you really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really need to! that! cannot be done with float, margins, and padding.

 

position: relative; when used with left: property means its area covers the original position it came from + the area it now occupies width: 1000px; left: 500px; its width is now 1500px, and elements move around the area it once occupied.
