Menu
I've tried everything I can think of, yet nothing seems to fix the issue. When I view the website at full-screen (on my computer), it appears fine, however when I resize the browser to a smaller window, a very strange white space appears to the right of all the website content. Since some elements are set to 100% width, I can't seem to figure out why this white space is overriding those elements.

The website: link text
I understand the positioning may be unconventional and some styles haven't been used, I'm still in the process of working out the unused code. But for the life of me, I can't figure this one out. Screenshots below: ![alt text][2]

It greatly depends on how your website is designed. If it's a very simple layout, you might have used “text-align: right;” which left more space on the left. If you're using a grid layout, you may have put your content in the columns to the right.
HTML. Approach 2: We can also eliminate the extra space using the margin-top property. The margin-top property sets the top margin of an element. When we use margin-top we have to apply it on the tag, such that we have to eliminate extra space above it.
Try
html,
body {
width: 100%;
height: 100%;
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
overflow-x: hidden;
}
and delete rules one by one until you identify which rule removes the whitespace.
This is really only disguising the layout problem, not addressing it. Try inspecting the gap with your browser dev tools and see if it identifies an element other than html or body. It could be some kind of margin applied to an element on the horizontal edge of the layout; CSS margins work "through" parent elements and can offset from the page edge itself, in some cases.
Idea from here.
