Need help with Footer

Hi, I have been editing my wordpress theme. I need help with footer part.

For the header, I have one black stripe going from left hand side to right hand side. It's an image, repeating in -X axis.

background:url(img/back.gif) repeat-x;

Code (markup):

I have my content centered.

For the footer, I want to have a stripe going from left hand side to right hand (full) just like the header. I still want to put the footer content in center.

I just realized that I cant post links yet. So I won't be able to post my site here. Can anyone help me with this?

Edit:
Please check my profile for the website.

 

why can't you make the alignment as center ?

 

What? Are you saying that I should leave my footer as it is (centered, only 800px in width)?

What i'm trying to do is to have a full footer* and have my footer content centered to 800px in width.

*a 100% div (not within my content) within html body.

 

make footer alignment center <div align ="center"> </div> if you don't know how to do it contact me any time and i will add these lines to your css and footer .

 

Do the following:

1-) In order to have a stripe going from left hand side to right hand (full) just like the header you must firstly put the div#footer as direct child of the body.
Move the #footer to immediatly before the </body>.
Put some content there like:

<div id="footer">
<p>Some test content</p>
</div>
</body>
</html>

Code (markup):

2-) Then add the CSS rule:

#footer {
clear:both;
color:#fff;
text-align:center;
width:100%;
background:#000;
}

Code (markup):

 

Fixed. I was missing closing tags of my page wrapper. Thanks.
