I have created a website inside of a 1000px grid however I have to images (footer texture) and a banner that I would like to be the width of the whole page, is there a way I can do this and still remain inside of the grid?

For example:
<body>
<div class="my-grid">
<!-- content here -->
</div> <!-- close grid -->
<div class="full-image">
<!-- your link to your image file here -->
</div>
<div class="my-grid">
<!-- content here -->
</div><!-- close grid -->
</body>
Thats if your image is in your html file, if it's in your css then we need to do things a little different.

19,579 PointsHi Stephanie,
I'm not sure if your using a grid.
Do you want the image to go from one side of browser to the other or one side of your grid to the other?

16,757 PointsI want it to go to one side of the browser to the other, but I have created my website inside of a grid.

16,757 PointsMy image is in my html file, this sorted it thank. Do you know how I can get my footer image to the bottom of the page? Its sitting in the middle.

19,579 Pointscan you give me the link to your page so i can look at your css please.

19,579 PointsI just re-read your question Stephanie, You can use the method i described for the image on your footer too, or anything else you want to be the entire width of the browser.
Anything inside the grid will never be able to stretch outside of it.
