Getting width of HTML document to resize with the browser window
Question
I am new to web development and currently building a site for a friend that is being modeled after this one: http://fulton-demo.squarespace.com/
While I have most of the elements into code and styled, I cannot figure out how to get the images and content to fill 100% of the width AND resize when the browser window is resized. Like, take the first image on the link I provided for example...I would like it to look like this, meaning to not have any margins on either side and fill the browser window....and I can get it to do that, but it never shows 100% of the image and when I resize the window, nothing moves. Does that make sense?
I know this is probably a very elementary question, but I would love some insight on this. I can post any and all code if necessary. Thanks in advance guys!

EDIT 2: THANK YOU for all the help thus far everyone!....For those following along in the comments, the issue that I'm having now can be shown by this screenshot . The image carousel seems to be filling the left side completely fine, but the right side still isn't being filled at all, there's still some space between the right edge of the img carousel and the browser window when I scroll to the right.

Try adding this to your CSS..
.single-item-rtl img {
width: 100%;
height: auto;
max-height: 600px;
margin: auto;
}
Also remove the height width and align from the image tag or they'll override the CSS.
Slick tries to add arrows to the left and right side of the slider which is what is causing the issue. Since we're taking up 100% of the screen they have no place to go.
$('.single-item-rtl').slick({
rtl: true,
arrows: false
});
Edit:
Remove the width from #mainContent to make .container 's with take up 100% of the screen.

Enclosing your content inside another element is helpful.
Note that you have to separate between enclosing elements required for your script to work, and those used to enchance your layout.
Also my solution implies you will ever be able to specify your image width in percent only . You can also add maximum and minimum properties.
.outer {
width: 5cm; // arbitrary
}
.full-width {
width: 100%;
}
.full-width img {
width: 15%;
max-width: 2cm;
min-width: 5mm;
}
<div class="outer">
<div class="full-width">
<img src="http://cdn.sstatic.net/stackoverflow/img/favicon.ico"/>
</div>
</div>

Use Percentage widths!!!!
Something simple like this would do:
.myImageClass{
width: 50%;
/*by not setting height, it will auto scale*/
}
DEMO:
html,body{ margin:0; padding:0; } .myFullImg{ width:100%; } .myHalfImage{ width:50%; }
<img class="myFullImg" src="http://placekitten.com/g/200/200" alt=""/> <img class="myHalfImage" src="http://placekitten.com/g/200/400" alt=""/>
