}

any ideas??? why only footer is not becoming full width???

Ps!!!

Answer 1

You need to wrap the footer's content with something that makes it stay in place, without getting the width to 100%.

So I added a footer_content div arround the footer content divs and added this after updating the footer width to 100%:

.footer_content{
    width:960px;
    position:relative;
    margin:0 auto;
}

Here is a solution:

Answer 2

Put the following div below the body tag

<div class="footer_background"></div>


.footer_background 
{
background: none repeat scroll 0 0 red;
height: 217px;
margin-top: -217px;
position: absolute;
width: 100%;
z-index: -1;
}
