HTML header image not same width of content.
I am working on an outdated html website, http://thelegalprocessgroup.com/index.htm It is an expandable website and with wider screens the content ends up getting wider than the header. The header image is currently 1260 wide.
Is there a way to stop the content from spreading farther right than the image?

I wear a lot of hats...
"The solutions and answers provided on Experts Exchange have been extremely helpful to me over the last few years. I wear a lot of hats - Developer, Database Administrator, Help Desk, etc., so I know a lot of things but not a lot about one thing. Experts Exchange gives me answers from people who do know a lot about one thing, in a easy to use platform." -Todd S.
I would also redesign the whole thing for responsive design if given time to, but otherwise
I reckon add a <div class="container"> to wrap the whole content(including the header image). Then add to css
.container{
max-width:1260px;
margin-left:auto;
margin-right:auto;
}
This way if the page is viewed on a larger screen the content(including the header image) will be centered and at the same time stop the content from spreading out. hope it helps.

Thanks for the info. I used the container max width.
A couple problems I have now is:
1. The masthead bottom border drops down below the masthead
2. The footer is missing. Not sure if I changed something to mess up the footer when I was trying to fix the border issue.
Here is the master page code:

Your masthead bottom is too tall because you have an extra HTML element in there.
<p> </p>
Delete that and it will look fine.
I'm looking at the footer now...

Your footer isn't missing. It's just positioned wrong. Move your footer so it's inside the content div and it should look roughly correct.
This site really could use some help with its layout but it looks a heck of a lot better now than when you started.

Thanks Russ,
I tried moving it but it didn't seem to work. I seem to have some pages that show the footer and others including the home page that are getting cut off at the bottom. I have included the css in case something there is causing it.

You could add style="max-width: 1260px;" to the <div id="page_content"> element.
That would fix your immediate issue. If it were me working on this website I'd redesign the whole thing with a responsive design methodology.
