Header extends past the page in Adobe Muse after uploading to web

Question

Here is an example of my issue. Both are set to 100% width and both are edge to edge when i put them in...however as you can see, the header extends past the rest of the page instead of being aligned with the rest of the content.

Answer 1

That's a nice looking site, Elaine. Well done.
This link may help you decide to widen your website a bit:

It clearly shows the trends to larger monitors. That being said, you definitely don't want people encountering horizontal scroll bars when they come to your site. I would say you could safely expand to 1024 or possibly 1200 to accomodate members' artwork.
A suggestion for you...when you go to the Gallery page and click on the various members' names, it scrolls down nicely to their respective part of the gallery. But then you have to manually scroll up or down. You can make the menu of members' names "sticky" so that it stays with the viewer as they scroll. They can then easily move to different parts of the page without all the scrolling.
For a small example of that see this prototype page I'm working on:

Unfortunately, I'm not at home right now and can't remember the exact terminology of what that's called or how to accomplish that. When I get home later today I can follow up here with instructions if someone else hasn't.
Hope that helps!
