White Space?

Recommended Posts

I'm having a problem with too much white space on the right side of my layout, and I cannot find the reason why. A friend of mine did most of the coding before she went back to school, and now isn't around to help fix it. The website can be found here: http://flowerfarmhorses.com/ffweb/ The CSS:

@font-face {	font-family: 'Garogier';	src: url('garogier.eot');	src: url('garogier.eot?#iefix') format('embedded-opentype'),		 url('garogier.woff') format('woff'),		 url('garogier.ttf') format('truetype'),		 url('garogier.svg#Garogier') format('svg');	font-weight: normal;	font-style: normal;}root { 	display: block;}body {	background: #f3f3f3;	background-image: url(../images/bg.jpg);}h1 {	color: #820024;	text-shadow: 1px 1px 1px #ffffff;	font-family: 'Garogier';	font-size: 36px;	margin: 0 0 5px 0;	font-weight: 200;}h2,h2 a:link,h2 a:active,h2 a:visited {	color: #00274c;	text-shadow: 1px 1px 1px #ffffff;	font-family: 'Garogier';	font-size: 18px;	font-weight: 200;	margin: 0 0 5px 0;	line-height: 26px;}h2 a:hover {	color: #820024;}p.garogier-maroon-medium {	color: #820024;	font-family: 'Garogier';	font-size: 24px;	padding: 0 0 5px 0;}p.garogier-navy-small {	color: #00274c;	font-family: 'Garogier';	font-size: 14px;	line-height: 20px;}p.garogier-white-medium {	font-size: 18px;	color: #ffffff;	font-family: 'Garogier';	padding: 0 0 15px 0;}p.helvetica-navy-tiny {	font-size: 12px;	color: #c8d8e8;	font-family: Helvetica;	line-height: 14px;}p.helvetica-navy-tiny a:link,p.helvetica-navy-tiny a:active,p.helvetica-navy-tiny a:visited {	color: #ffffff;	font-style: italic;}p.helvetica-navy-tiny a:hover {	border-bottom: 1px dotted #ffffff;}p.garogier-navy-medium {	font-size: 24px;	color: #00274c;	font-family: 'Garogier';	font-weight: 200;	letter-spacing: 1px;	padding: 0 0 5px;}p.helvetica-navy-small {	font-size: 12px;	font-family: Helvetica;	color: #00274c;	letter-spacing: 1px;}p.garogier-grey-medium {	font-size: 18px;	color: #c0c0c0;	font-family: 'Garogier';	font-weight: 200;	letter-spacing: 1px;	padding: 0 0 7px;}td.helvetica-grey-middle {	font-size: 12px;	font-family: Helvetica;	color: #838383;	line-height: 18px;}p.garogier-burg-medium,p.garogier-burg-medium a:link,p.garogier-burg-medium a:active,p.garogier-burg-medium a:visited {	font-size: 22px;	color: #820024;	font-family: 'Garogier';	padding: 15px 0 10px 0;}p.garogier-burg-medium a:hover {	color: #820024;}p.garogier-burg-smaller,p.garogier-burg-smaller a:link,p.garogier-burg-smaller a:active,p.garogier-burg-smaller a:visited {	font-size: 16px;	color: #820024;	font-family: 'Garogier';}p.garogier-burg-smaller a:hover {	color: #820024;}p.helvetica-grey-middle {	font-size: 12px;	font-family: Helvetica;	color: #838383;	line-height: 18px;}p.helvetica-grey-middle a:link,p.helvetica-grey-middle a:active,p.helvetica-grey-middle a:visited {	color: #00274c;	font-style: italic;}p.helvetica-grey-middle a:hover {	border-bottom: 1px dotted #e19b88;;}p.helvetica-grey-small {	font-size: 10px;	font-family: Helvetica;	color: #c0c0c0;	letter-spacing: 1px;}p.garogier-footer-navy {	font-size: 12px;	font-family: 'Garogier';	color: #bed1e4;	line-height: 18px;	padding-top: 10px;}p.small-footer-maroon {	font-size: 12px;	font-family: 'Garogier';	color: #c8d8e8;	line-height: 16px;}.border {	border: 10px solid #ffffff;	-moz-box-shadow:0px 0px 5px #c0c0c0;	-webkit-box-shadow:0px 0px 5px #c0c0c0;	box-shadow:0px 0px 5px #c0c0c0;}.wrapper {	width: 80%;	margin: 0 auto;	background: #f3f3f3;}.container {	width: 90%;		margin-left: 60px;}.wrapper2 {	width: 90%;	margin: 0 auto;}#topnav {	background: #820024;	padding: 10px 15px 10px 5px;	text-align: right;	color: #cfcedd;	font-size: 12px;	font-family: Helvetica, Arial, Verdana;}#logo {	width: 100%;	height: 75px;	margin: 25px 0 25px 0;	background: url('../images/logo.png') no-repeat 0 0;}#name {	border-left: 1px solid #dddddd;	position: relative;	left: 270px;	height: 50px;	padding: 20px 0 0 50px;}#nav {	background: #ffffff;	-moz-box-shadow:0px 0px 5px #c0c0c0;	-webkit-box-shadow:0px 0px 5px #c0c0c0;	box-shadow:0px 0px 5px #c0c0c0;	width: 100%;	height: 55px;	margin: 0 0 50px 0;}ul.topnav {	list-style: none;	padding: 0 50px;	margin: 0;	position: relative;	top: 10px;	float: left;	font-size: 16px;	z-index: 100000;}ul.topnav li {	float: left;	margin:0;	padding: 0 45px 0 0;	position: relative;

Anyone have any ideas for why it's doing what its doing? Thanks in advance!

the issue is because of two things. For whatever reason, #name is relatively positioned. thus taking it out of the flow of the page. This means any elements contained within it won't respect the container that #logo created. For this reason, the p tags are expanding way far to the right of the page, following their block level nature.I would remove the positioning from #name, and the adjust the left padding for these two elementsp.helvetica-navy-smallgarogier-navy-mediumas needed.
