css3

body    {     background-color: gray;     color: #202020;     font: normal .90em"trebuchet ms", "lucida sans unicode", "lucida grande", "lucida sans", arial, sans-serif;     margin: 0;     text-align: left; }  .wrapper {     margin: 0 auto;     width: 980px; }  #content {     background-color: #fffaf0;     margin: 2% auto;     padding: 10px 25px;     width: 88%; }  #content-box2 {     float: left;     padding-left: 80px;     width: 40%; }  #content-box3 {     float: left;     padding-right: 80px;     width: 40%; }  .align-right {     text-align: right; } 

you using float: left; wont make div expand, try using display: inline-table;
