resiezing window problem ??

[N.A.]

Hi there.

I'm having a little trouble to get my webpage to behave the way i
want.
My "content" block changes it's size when i resize the window.

If you take a look at this site (it's not mine, i should
say)http://webdesign101.dk/ ,and try to resize the window, there you
see my problem.

The effect i'm looking can be wieved here http://www.gamereactor.dk/
, again try resize the window.

Here's some of my .css

body {
background-image:url(some_background.jpg);
margin: 10px 150px 10px 150px;
background-color:#454545;
color:#374519
}

..content {
width:100%;
background-color:#dbcebb;
color:#374519;
padding:10;
}

Does someone know the trick ??
Any help appreciated.

thx in advance

Wonderful - I get a very wide blank area and the text crammed into less then
half the window. Eugh.

Specify a width for the element in units that are not proportional to the
window size (i.e. %). Something relative to the font size (like em) is less
awful then something absolute (like px[1])
padding:10;

10 what? Units are required.

100% + 10 anything is going to be more then 100% though, I strongly suggest
leaving it as width: auto - the default.


[1] Yes yes, *technically* pixels are a relative unit, but they have most of
the problems of absolute units and few of the advantages of other relative
units.
