15,337 PointsIs there padding on the left/right of those two elements? It sounds like box-sizing is the culprit. By default, it's set to content-box - so width (when set) would actually be 100% + padding.
If you're not already, you may want to just set everything to border-box -
*,*:before,*:after {
box-sizing: border-box;
-webkit-box-sizing: border-box;
-moz-box-sizing: border-box;
}

15,337 Pointsah ok, this might not be totally right, but I think if you need the width set to 100% you'd have to remove the right/left margin and pad the parent element instead. With width:auto; the margin should work the way you want though.

3,189 PointsThe problem was with width only .. I was making width:100%, but I had to make it to max-width:100%.
Now it's working fine...
