Question

How do I separate the body/content area of my site from the background using CSS. To show you what I mean, just see the attached picture. So, the background on the sides will expand to people with really big monitors, but the content are will always stay the same size.

Thanks,
Amar

Try this.

body {
  background: #000;
  padding: 50px;
}

#content {
  width: 960px;
  background: #fff;
}
