Hello respected devs here,
I am completely new to web-developing and trying to build my website.
Here the problem with the CSS code is that the middle navbar items (.nav_links li) doesn't stay at one line as it pushes the Trends item in navbar to start at a newline as seen in the attached image in the post(Please see the attached image). I want all items to stay at one line with the same spacing between the items.
Maybe the fix is simple, I'd really appreciate your help, thanks

.button {

padding: 5px 10%;

}
You only give each item a width of 40%. If you want them all to stay on the same line, you should change it to 33% or 30%.
The most easy way to solve this is using a table instead. It makes your items always fit in the same row. Note that the table must be small enough otherwise it is going to overflow from the screen.

I am trying out "flex" with CSS.
I cannot get my nav bar to move to the right. I have tried for hours using margin, changing displays, using float. It won't move passed the middle... Sorry i'm still learning

Fix 1
The best way to fix this (to me) is to control layout at the flex container (parent) level. It's straightforward and declarative.
header {
…
justify-content: space-between;
}
Fix 2
Another way is to add flex-grow: 1 to your #nav-bar.
#nav-bar {
…
flex-grow: 1;
}
In this instance, setting flex-grow to 1 tells the element to take up the available space in its flex container.
Fix 3
The non-flexbox way would be to add a left auto margin to the #nav-bar, effectively pushing it as far right as possible.
#nav-bar {
…
margin-left: auto;
}
since your header has display: flex property, his childs act like flex items.
So if you want to move whole .nav-bar to right you have to set margin-left: auto to .nav-bar so that element will be pushed to right.
Means .nav-bar will have as big margin as can without breaking on new line from left so element will move to right.
Since the Header element is the container just add justifi-content: space-between; and this will force the elements to go left and right. Another way is to put position: absolute; right: 0; to the nav-bar container but the first way is cleaner.
I am pretty new to this. I am hoping for some help and advise keeping my divs side by side. One is a menu which works fine but now my content is overlapping and I'm not sure what I did. I should make multiple saves. any advice on positioning my divs would be crazy appreciated.
apologies if my formatting of the post is wrong. brain is fried and my website is due for class tomorrow.

As you are using position:fixed; in div.header and position:relative; in div.main you can change the stack of them using z-index value in CSS. if you want your header on the front side and main on the back side then add z-index:2 in div.header and z-index:1 in div.main.
it is overlapping because you have specified the fixed position to the header which is placing the header on the fixed place and anything on the page will overlap with the header. you can try position:absolute
Remove all the code from div.main. It's not required. Also remove position: fixed from the div.header block.
I tried to make a banner for my website I'm creating, but when I add it to my website, it turns out really bad with the text. I'm wondering if I can add text to my banner using HTML5 and / or CSS.

I'm trying to center / centre my text on the banner, with a white coloured font (font can be varied). What do I have to do to make this happen? Thanks!
It depends on the kind of text you will be adding to the banner. If you want to add text that will be static (as in, it will never or rarely change) and want to add custom fonts, you should probably edit the image in Photoshop.
On the other hand, if the content in the banner will change constantly, then I would suggest adding the image as a background. Your banner h class would look something like this:
.banner_h{
display: block;
width: *actual pixel size of the banner*;
height: *actual pixel size of the banner*;
background: url('*location of file*') no-repeat;
}
If you leave the width to a percentage what will happen is that the div will not have anything inside of it and thus will not show the banner, so you need to figure out what the actual width and height of the banner is and put it in this CSS declaration so that it shows the banner.
Once you have done this, delete the image from the tag and replace it with the content you wish to add.
So, I'm trying to have two "halves" of the navigation thing under this title page thing, one floated left, the other right.
For some reason, They're not beside each other like they should be, unless I'm doing something wrong. Code is as follows:

I've got borders temporarily so I can see where things are, but...yeah. I need to float them next to each other, I think I'm doing something entirely wrong. Any thoughts?
Behold! http://jsfiddle.net/QHeDZ/
I added display:inline-block to your .landing-links-left and .landing-links-right css and removed your floats. I think this is what you were trying to do? If not, let me know! I can fix it up.
You're getting a wedge of top (and bottom) margin as a browser default. If you inspect your unordered list in Chrome you'll see from the user agent style sheet:
-webkit-margin-before: 1em;
-webkit-margin-after: 1em;
You can set the margins on your list to 0 to remove this default. Also, I would recommend having a look at http://necolas.github.io/normalize.css/ which provides a nice set of default rules for common elements, taking the pain away from these kind of issues.
Just add <div id="clear"></div> before closing this div <div id="landing-links">
#landing-links-right {
font-size: small;
text-align: right;
width: 400px;
float: right; //modify this to left(so it could be next to the other container)
}
Hope this helped you!Cheers!
Technically they are on the same line, but margin and line-height values aren't being clearly defined for better aligning. Including the following properties:
#landing-links-left { line-height: 20px; }
#landing-links ul {
margin: 0;
line-height: 20px;
}
When I try to put 5 inline-block divs of 20% width with 1px borders, inside a containing div, also with a 1px border, they wrap on to the next line.
They do fit if I get rid of all the borders.
I understand that this is because the divs take up 100% of the containing divs area, including its padding and border area, meaning that they don't fit within the borders, so it has to wrap.
My question is how to modify this so that I can make them fit exactly. Surely this is a common problem?
<html>
<head>
<title> Test </title>
<style type=text/css>

{
margin: 0;

#navBar
{
border: 1px solid black;
margin-left: auto;
margin-right: auto;
margin-top: 10px;
width: 50%;
}

</div>
</body>
</html>
As a side note, it's crazy that if I put the 5 divs on their own lines, they get rendered with space between them, hence why they're all on one line. In my real code the divs are generated with php, so it's not long.
margin:0 -1px 0 -1px gives you an easy place to start.
Would also recommend using float:left for this since display:inline-block is buggy in some browsers.
To get your container <div> to expand vertically to fit content, just have an element with clear:both after your floated ones.
All can be seen here: http://jsfiddle.net/steve/qEJaA/
One idea is to get rid of the 1px border for your .navBtn class, and create a nested element in each navBtn div:
<html>
<head>
<title> Test </title>
<style type=text/css>
div
{
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
}
#navBar
{
border-top: 1px solid black;
margin-left: auto;
margin-right: auto;
margin-top: 10px;
width: 50%;
}
.navBtn
{
display: inline-block;
text-align: center;
}
.nav-text { border:1px solid #ccc; }
</style>
</head>
<body>
<div id="navBar">
<div class="navBtn" style="width:20%"><div class="nav-text">Text</div></div><div class="navBtn" style="width:20%"><div class="nav-text">Text</div></div><div class="navBtn" style="width:20%"><div class="nav-text">Text</div></div><div class="navBtn" style="width:20%"><div class="nav-text">Text</div></div><div class="navBtn" style="width:20%"><div class="nav-text">Text</div></div>
</div>
</body>
</html>
Yes, this is a common problem.
There are (at least) two common solutions.
The first is have a wrapper element for each child element, and move the width to that. The border stays on the child element.
Because your id is navBar, this is obviously for some kind of menu, so I'm going to restructure your code to add the described wrapper elements, and to make it more semantic.
See: http://jsfiddle.net/wFeYn/
<ul id="navBar">
<li style="width:20%">Text</li><li style="width:20%">Text</li><li style="width:20%">Text</li><li style="width:20%">Text</li><li style="width:20%">Text</li>
</ul>
#navBar {
border: 1px solid black;
margin: 10px auto 0 auto;
width: 50%;
margin: 0;
padding: 0
}
#navBar li {
display: inline-block;
text-align: center;
}
#navBar li a {
display: block;
border: 1px solid black;
}
The second solution is to use CSS3's box-sizing: border-box.
This is very easy, and all modern browsers support it (unfortunately IE7 does not).
To use this with your original code you would do:
.navBtn
{
border: 1px solid black;
display: inline-block;
text-align: center;
-moz-box-sizing: border-box;
-webkit-box-sizing: border-box;
box-sizing: border-box;
}
If you do care about IE7, then you should know that display: inline-block won't work without some simple hacks.
For IE7 support, replace display: inline-block; with:
display: inline-block;
*display: inline;
zoom: 1;
That goes for either your original code, or my updated code. But only if you care about IE7.
