 * Hi,
 * I am using twenty twelve theme, I set the site width to in my child theme:
 * .site {
    max-width: 600px; max-width: 42.85rem; }
 * it works ok with Chrome
 * but in firefox, the real site width is 750px instead of 600px, and it is the 
   worst with IE, the width is 100% of my browser screen width, i.e., this IE doesn’t
   read the above codes.
 * How is it? And where did I do wrong? Please help. Thank you.

 * After some hours of searching, I changed the codes to:
    footer[role=”contentinfo”]{
   max-width: 600px; } [@media](https://wordpress.org/support/users/media/) screen
   and (min-width: 600px) { .site { max-width: 600px; max-width: 42.857142857142rem;}}.
   ie .site { max-width: 600px; }
 * But Firefox and IE8 still displays the site width to 750px (why?) , Chrome displays
   correctly to 600px.
 * Then I opened wordpress.org in firefox and in Chrome, surprisingly, its width
   is 1190 in firefox and 950 in Chrome. Why?
 * Please help. The site is [http://www.siluofake.com](http://www.siluofake.com)
