Element extending beyond their defined width - css

I am trying to get my top menu to be exactly full width of the screen at all times. Sadly, while it works OK on desktop, it keeps extending beyond the expected width when on mobile.
To give some context: I'm trying to build a child theme of the "Rookie" theme (https://wordpress.org/themes/rookie/).
My goal at this point is to replace the default menu of the theme with a top bar, on which I want the burger menu on the left, logo in the middle and the search button on the right.
This is already done, but for a reason I do not understand, when testing on mobile, the top bar is exceeding the expected 100% width. This can be observed when trying with "Phone 6/7/8" of the Chome dev tools. I also tried with a physical device and got the same result.
The page is https://gornik2.kosimus.eu/

I spent several hours trying to figure it out and I essentially ran out of ideas at this point. I defined the width to 100%, 100vw and so on, tried max-width, checked parent elements and made sure that the width is not increased anywhere.
Pretty sure there is something incredibly stupid and small I am missing. Ideas would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
PS There is a bunch of other issues as well on that page (colors etc.
- please just ignore those).

The pseudo element (:after) added to th tag of the LEAGUE TABLE is causing this issue. This issue can be fixed if the position value changed from "absolute" to "relative".
.sp-data-table .sorting:after {
content: "\f156";
color: transparent;
/* position: absolute; */
position: relative;
}

CSS: float: none; being ignored

On this website, when the viewport width is reduced to 595px or below, the following CSS should apply:
#media (max-width:595px) {
#header-left,#header-right {
display: block;
width: 100%;
float: none;
}
}
The browser is recognising the CSS, and it appears active, however, #header-left (which contains the logo) is not 100% wide, or is #header-right (which contains the phone number).
That is, #header-left & #header-right still try to take up half of the width, and appear side by side, instead of above and below each other.
Why is this occurring? Thanks.
Remove position:absolulte; from #logo {position: absolute;top: 0px;left: 0px;} and remove from #menu Then your code works fine.
You should override the following commented rules in your css specific to the 595px size:
#logo {
/* position: absolute; */
/* top: 0px; */
/* left: 0px; */
}
#header-right {
width: 50%;
float: right;
padding-top: 8px;
/* text-align: right; */
}
#menu {
/* position: absolute; */
/*top: 80px;*/
/*left: 0px;*/
background: url(images/menu-bg.png) no-repeat;
width: 960px;
height: 55px;
}
Note: Override the commented rules

Center items in list (CSS)

I need to center the items on a list of my social-media menu (the 4 icons under the title on the sidebar).
I got to made them distribute evenly (each item width is 25% since I have 4), the "ul" is displayed as table.
However, the icons inside each "li" stick to the left ! Any ideas ? THANKS !
http://www.blogderod.com/
.social-navigation {
margin: 0 15% 10%;
display: table;
width: 70%;
}
.social-navigation li {
display: inline-block;
text-align: center;
float: none;
width: 25%;
}
Add the following to your CSS:
.social-navigation a,
.social-navigation a:before {
width: 100%;
}
This makes both the link and the social icon take up the full width of the li, allowing them both to centre correctly.
Add "text-align: center;" on the LIs and make the links inside the LIs "display: inline-block;".
Edit this class like this:
.social-navigation a:before {
content: "\f415";
font-size: 24px;
position: absolute;
top: 0;
left: 20px;
Change top/left position as you wish.
Make this changes in your CSS
media="all"
.social-navigation a:before {
content: "\f415";
font-size: 24px;
/* position: absolute; */
/* top: 0; */
/* left: 0; */
}
Hope that helps

Fixed Header stays when scrolls but navigation doubles

I currently am using a fixed header for my website: http://www.destinykingproductions.com/test/ I have attached the css I currently have. Anyone have any suggestions on why this is happening?
#main {
background-color: transparent;
margin-top: -40px;
height: auto;
max-height: none;
width: auto;
padding-bottom: 35px;
}
header#masthead {
height: 103px;
background-image: url(http://www.destinykingproductions.com/test/wp-content/uploads/2014/08/header_bg1.jpg);
position: fixed;
z-index: 856;
width: 100%;
margin-top: 0px;
top: 0px;
}
nav.main-navigation {
top: -200%;
background-color: transparent;
z-index: 4670;
}
nav.main-navigation ul.menu li {
padding-left: 17px;
}
nav.main-navigation ul.menu {
margin-left: 18%;
}
#shiftnav-toggle-main {
display: none;
}
Thank you for your assistance!
The comments above are correct - the "sticky" class nav is being added / toggled at some point. When you add 'display:none' to that sticky class, then it is fine on a desktop view. However, it looks like you are using that class for something with mobile because when the screen is resized smaller and back to normal then the side menu area doesn't go away. It looks like you may want to move that sticky class to your 768px media query and/or have it not show on larger screens.
/*normal css*/
.main-navigation.sticky { display: none }
#media screen and (max-width: 768px)
{
.main-navigation.sticky { display: block }
}

Why is there extra padding happening in my div?

I've coded my website for all browsers but of course IE has issues. Specifically only IE 7. I'm hoping to find a resolution to why it's behaving the way it is with two issues and what I can add so IE will display it properly.
My submit buttons are aligning to the bottom of their containing divs.
CSS for the SUBMIT button for the SEARCH field
#searchform { /*container widget */ position: relative; left: 15px; width: 97%; height: 30px; background-color: #f3f3f3; border: 2px solid #742222;}
#searchform label { display: none; }
#searchform input#s { width: 75%; height: 20px;}
input[type=text],input#s { margin: 0 10px 0 0; width: 60%; }
#searchsubmit{ position: relative; float: right; width: 30px; height: 30px; text-indent: -999px; background: url(http://averylawoffice.ca/img/SEARCH-submit.jpg) center; border: 0px;}
This CSS works in all browsers but IE version 7. Is there a way to make it top align without having to position absolute?
I've managed to move the SUBMIT button up (to the correct position) by left-floating the text-box.
.subscription_email {
...
float: left;
}
Same goes for the search text-box:
#s {
...
float: left;
}
By making those changes, the resulting presentation will be exactly the same as in Firefox.

Right align Superfish menu - and stop it jumping around

I would really like to stop the menu items jumping around on this site as the parent item expands to fit its child.
I can get it looking how I want when I add this CSS, forcing the menu items to have fixed widths:
/*Menu item 1*/
#menu-item-117 .sub-menu {right: -125px;}
/*Menu item 2*/
#menu-item-73 {width:45px;}
#menu-item-73 .sub-menu {width:980px!important;right: -10px;}
/*Menu item 3*/
#menu-item-122 {width:65px;}
#menu-item-122 .sub-menu{width:980px!important;right: 165px;}
However, this is clearly not ideal, as the menu needs to be dynamic...
Is there a way to achieve what I want via CSS? I hope so!
I am using the Superfish menu that comes with Theme Hybrid for Wordpress.
Thanks in advance for any help you can offer!
I get your point .. let's see again.
This build uses position: relative/absolute; instead of float: right/left; and it has one flaw mentioned below.
However I haven't test this in old browsers including IE (tested in Chrome & Firefox), but I hope this may provide you some idea to implement it. :)
#primary-menu .menu /* new rule */ {
position: relative;
height: 50px; /* The flaw is you have to fix the menu's height here */
}
#primary-menu ul {
position: absolute;
right: 0;
top: 0;
}
#primary-menu li {
float: left;
list-style: none outside none;
margin-left: 10px;
position: relative;
}
.sub-menu {
background: none repeat scroll 0 0 #244563;
clear: both;
display: none;
font-size: 0.8em;
overflow: visible;
padding: 5px 0 !important;
position: relative;
right: 0;
text-align: right;
top: 30px !important;
width: 700px !important;
}
.sub-menu li {
display: inline !important;
float: none !important;
padding: 10px 0 !important;
width: auto !important;
}
