The site is in the early stages, and the client has an existing site, so I haven't updated the DNS. The only way I know that you can see it is by updating your hosts file by running notepad as admin (right click notepad and select run as admin). Then navigate to
Windows->System32->Drivers-> etc and select all files in the drop-down dialogue.
Add this line to the hosts file (end of the existing list is fine, or near the top, doesn't matter)
192.185.99.185
www.thestrapsaver.com the strapsaver.com
save the file and close it.
This tells your browser not to bother to look up the DNS, but just use this IP address for this site.
If you add a # in col 1 of the file, it "comments out" the directive.
I actually already have the body tag set up so that I have both a repeating pattern and a gradient covering the body and then the white #container on top. so that part is fine, its just the width of the #container that is wrong. Funny, when I play with the display: table on the #container, I lose the repeating pattern and
the gradient that's applied to the body tag I have added so little to this site thusfar I think this behavior is a big clue as to what is happening. ....but I can't see where.
here is all that is in container....the white background and I removed the border in favor of a box shadow.
#container {
background: none repeat scroll 0 0 #fff;
box-shadow: 0 0 3px 2px #333;
box-sizing: content-box;
display: table;
margin: 0 auto;
min-height: 870px;
Any insight appreciated...
Thanks!
