After completing my code for a beginner's HTML/CSS project, I realized that the main parent container holding two smaller containers needed to be set at specific widths. The two inner containers had to be exactly 650px and 270px wide, while the main parent container was required to be 960px wide. Adjusting the width of the smaller containers posed no issue, but upon setting the parent container's width to 960px, I noticed that the content appeared cut off about two-thirds of the way across the browser window. Strangely, the heading section above and footer section below spanned the full width of the browser without any issues. What puzzled me was why the body element, encompassing all the code, listed a width of only 831px and a height of around 1060px. This mismatch between the body size and the container width perplexed me as everything looked fine when I didn't specify the 960px width for the parent container.
