Please Help, I'm a Noob

Hi,

I'm pretty new at CSS so this is probably a simple question. Go to this page:

https://www.adhalo.com/test123/signup.php

And view it in Internet Explorer or FireFox. Near the bottom, on both sides of the footer is the background color of the content section (tan) and the horizontal rule which comes before the footer is cut off because of that. How can I fix that while still having spacing between the lines on the sides of the page and the content section? The content section (the part with the tan background) right now has 200px padding on both sides and that is what causes the problem. Is there a way for me to make the padding not go down that far? Thanks in advance!

just take the footer out of the div that has the padding applied and if the width is 100% then it should expand to fit the page

Sweat, that worked! Unfortunately, it created a new problem, in FireFox, there is now a small line of white right before the horizontal rule. Got any ideas on how I could get rid of that?

hmm, if it's inside the box that controls the white footer then it will probably force the footer to engulf it. you may be able to take it out of the div and have it stretch across the page, but i haven't looked at your code

Um, I'm confused.

If it looks like this:

<div class="footer">
<hr>

</div>

it might work like this:

<hr>
<div class="footer>
</div>


or if the css for the footer says:

padding:__px;
take that out.

Hmm, well I can't figure it out. Anyway, there's another issue. On one of the pages, it still looks how it did before (with the tan bars on the sides of the footer). Unfortunately, that's a page that you have to be logged in to see. It's just a testing site so I don't care about giving out admin info and I really want this to work so if I paid you $10, would you take a look at it and try to fix it (or if you can't fix it, tell me exactly what the problem is so I can tell the people who made the program I am using (it is not open source so I can only moddify a limited amount of stuff, not exact pages like that, it is encryped with Zend URL)?

Never mind, fixed it by putting everything into a table (so the overflow doesn't really show up since the background of the cell is the same color)!!!
