most sites will have a

most sites will have a wrapper. The wrapper helps contain everything, and help with centering the layout on the screen. The empty space to the left and right are whats left over if the display is larger then the design; its normal. These days, people have very large screens, and will always see the left and right spaces because most layouts are optimised for smaller screens, like 1024px, 800px wide. A few options:

1. change the layout. You can have the layout fill the screen no matter what screen size the user has with a liquid layout.

2. Optimise the current layout to support a larger screen size.

3. create the additional content outside the wrapper.

If you need further assistance, you'll need to post all your code html and css, or provide a link.

Thanks for replying

Thanks for replying CupidsToejam.

All i can say is, this is how the script is designed, reduced in 900px.

1) but i want to override the wrap with "something"
2) or I wanted to use left and right empty space with layer.

#wrap {
margin: 0 auto; 
	width: 900px;	
	}

for one, its not a script,

for one, its not a script, the code above is called css. Do one of the things I mentioned above to solve your problem. If you dont understand what I said, it maybe best to have somebody else make the edits for you.

Simply change the 900px to whatever width you want to make the wrapper wider.
