Hello, im a begginer and I really need some help with this:

This is how my website look like so far, the problem is that i don’t know how to extend the white background of the div to the left of the screen as shown in here:

the whole “row” consist of 3 divs (one is kind of wrapper with max-width of 960px, one is the white paragraph and the last one is the dark blue paragraph)

Please, if you could give me an idea what to change I would be forever thankful. Thanks!

Better would be if we could look at a live site or demo, but it is probably the parent wrapper with the max-width: 960px that keeps the white paragraph from expanding beyond that. Which is probably why it’s there to begin with. When wanting to change this: please make a demo, and we can show you how to do this.

If it’s just a background color you need then a positioned pseudo-element can fix that.

I wrote a whole answer on it on Stack Overflow – https://stackoverflow.com/questions/28565976/css-how-to-overflow-from-div-to-full-width-of-screen
