Some unexpected space in responsive website

Hello,

Here is a website I have made.

Link : www.twinklefit.com

There is some extra space, when I strink it down to width around 500px? When I view it on mobiles. It appear fine at first load, but you can see the extra space once you zoom out. But I couldn't find where in the script that gives the spaces.

Thanks :)

Hi Bosco Lo,

You are getting that extra space because over an overflow issue. You have to add an overflow hidden rule to the div that wraps your entire content area.

See code below for the fix.

.perspective {
background: #aaa;
position: relative;
overflow: hidden; // add this rule here.
}

Then that space goes away.

On, in addition, I had to use : overflow-x:hidden; instead, because it cut off my contents if I don't specify the x-axis. Again, thanks for the help.
