Good way to get text to go only so far on one page?

I have a snippet of code that aligns some <p> text and a headline to the left, with a left margin of 30px; But there's this really annoying x axis scroll bar that appears with I add another div with an element in it. (I have a page that has 1 image to a div for a scrolling background.) Right now, I added overflow-x: hidden, but now there's a little bit of each end of the paragraph lines that go off the page. Either how can I keep from going off with a limiting margin, or how can I kill this nasty x axis bar? Thanks all!

Resize your container div max-width to be 100%.

Ah! Thanks Belve! I assume I keep overflow x hidden?
