Header left/right padding

[appappnost 1]

I am trying to get rid of the white space to the left and the right of my header. The header is 1000px wide - and the site is set to 1000 px wide. I went through the forums and found this code:

.fixed_width #branding .content-pad {
	padding: 20px 15px 15px;
	}

If I leave the .fixed_width in - the header moves down and to the right ... if I remove .fixed_width - it centers - but the right and left spaces won't go away ... I'm using the full width mode with canvas (if that matters) and am on version 1.5. Thanks! Here is a link to my site: http://www.nattybumpercar.com

Hello, it's actually not the padding that you need to adjust. It's the width of the page canvas (the entire white area sitting above your site background). You can this CSS:

#page-canvas {width: 999px;}

Hey Catrina - Thanks for the response. I just dropped the your code - the -

#page-canvas {width: 999px;}

into the CSS rules - and - it still has the 10 pixels on both the left and the right side of the header ... Do you have any other ideas that I could give a shot?

It needs more specificity: `#page #page-canvas {width:999px}`

Hooray! That was exactly what it needed ... thanks - a bunch - to both of you!
