I have two divs on different z-layers. The sidebar div (in red) on the left and the main div on the right. Both have a 2 divs embedded.
The (red-background-colored) sidebar div stops as intended at 50% of the page. However, I fail to hide the overflow [SHOULD NOT BE SEEN. BUT IS VISIBLE.] of this div. Thus it overlays the main div's second inner div [BLOCK RIGHT].
Here is the dilemma, seen in the right hand side with the white background.

Motivation for this layout: With Javascript the user will be able to display either the full content of the sidebar or the main content by dragging the right-hand-side edge of the sidebar div to the left or right.
I can handle the javascript, only the correct overflow is missing.
Thanks for any hints in JsFiddle.
Elements with position: fixed do not relate to its parent container, but to the viewport, so it is not affected by the overflow setting. You should use absolute positioning for that, or, if you need to fix it (consider that, in the case of the sidebar, it is already fixed by its parent) use an alternative solution like display: none

I'm working on a static site that has a side nav on some pages and the nav is meant to stick to the bottom of the screen while scrolling. How can I get the nav to stop sticking at the bottom of the parent container? The nav should stay inside the parent.
Right now it continues to stick even after the container is out of view and eventually overlaps the footer.
Here's the demo site:

Your element has the attribute "fixed-bottom" as one of its classes. This will affix the y-axis placement of your navigational element to the bottom of the screen, not to the bottom of the parent container.
There are a couple of things you can do to clean this up. If you just want it not to overlap, you can add padding to the bottom of your element; I found that padding it with 100px worked cleanly as in the picture below.
You may also look to affix it to the actual parent container with usage of the "relative" tag, the solution of which is discussed in various other posts on this site:
Fixed position but relative to container
When developing a site in HTML/CSS how do you position divs on a page to hold content in place and exactly where you want them. Not just in a straight up in down manner. Is there a unified method/technique that everyone uses to achieve this placement? Or more generally how is it done?
Example: Here is an image of an example page I'm building with a container div and 5 other divs inside it.
IMAGE: http://go-dl.eve-files.com/media/1310/image.png
I was able to place the header div at the top, I was able to place the sidebar div below it and to the left (floated left), and I was able to position the content div below the header and to the right of the sidebar div (floated right). Now I have put the footer div in but the footer floats under the sidebar but also to the left of the content div. NOT under it and at the bottom of the page.
There are so many possible options/values in Dreamweaver to a assign to each div like box, float, margin, position, padding, etc,. I have linked my code below. Is there anything I can do to facilitate positioning divs on a page more efficiently and at all for that matter. I'd like for the footer to stay at the bottom of the page.
Here is my code:

I am truly stuck on this. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Also there are some other questions similar to this question but not the exact same of what I am asking. Thanks in advance!
in your css apply clear:both to the footer. That means floated elements are not allowed on either side of it.
I am building a web site for home made jewelry. I'd like it nice and centered ( for all those ppl with low resolution ) so all of the titles, navigation and content are in a single div, that I positioned in the center. On the left ( inside the div, everything is inside the div ) I have my vertical navigation sidebar div. On the right I have the title and the content. So far so good. Now to the problem:
I would like my sidebar to have a right border all the way from the top of the page to the bottom ( with 1em margins if possible ). The trick is that my content to the right variate from text to pictures and forms and is quite different on every page - when the content is larger then the screen the screen scrolls and in which case I'd like my sidebar border to scroll down with it - I've not been able to do that.
I think I have done quite a reading - my closest solution was to set the border's position to static but this quite obviously isn't working when the site is centered. So to the question - is there any CSS only way to make the sidebar div's height dynamic or something and define it to expand with the content to the right? This way the border will always reach the bottom.
Wrap your navigation in another div. Give this new div a height of 100% and assign it a border-right CSS property. You can also set padding too. Hope this helps.
How about giving left border to the content section Div, instead of Nav menu. so that way the border could change height according to the content area height
body,html{
height:100%;
}
#wrapperdiv{
height:100%
}
#navigation{
min-height:100%
}
I have a page where the main content has a variable height. I want to have a fixed height (about 50px) footer to the very bottom of the page.
I need it to scroll along with the page (so not a fixed position).
A couple scenarios:
If the body content is 300px tall, the window has no scrollbar, the footer would be all the way to the bottom and visible.
If the body content is 900px tall and the window has a scrollbar, the footer would be all the way at the bottom with no space between the footer and the bottom of the window, and not visible unless you scroll to the very bottom.
Is there a way to accomplish this in pure CSS? Trying to stay clear of using JS to handle this.

I am giving this for help and for concept purpose This fiddle http://jsfiddle.net/yp4EH/ is not related with this question but based on same situation - sidebar, content, footer at bottom always.
I have sidebar on the left hand side of my webpage that is set to postion:relative with a top value set but it also has a z-index of 10 as the top part of the sidebar needs to overlap a portion of the content at the right that is also set to relative.
I then have my footer with no position set, but has a clear:both set, that sits underneath the sidebar, as the height of the sidebar is larger the my content div.
My question is, as the sidebar grows, it doesn't push the footer down with it but rather is rendered over the top of it - any ideas what I am missing?
Is it because my sidebar has a z-index of 10 - if so, how would I get it to push the footer down instead of rendering over the top of it?
If not, then what could it be?
Mmh z-index, positioned elements and stacking context are so fun :(
Here are good resources about z-index:
Teach yourself how elements stack (renamed in How z-index works!)
Understanding CSS z-index (MDC)
The first one will let you find the solution by yourself, even if it's by trial and error.
Not sure if this would work, but what happens if you set the same z-index for the sidebar and the footer?
Kill the top declaration for your #sidebar and figure out a different way of having that top space ( margin, padding )
If that doesn't work, please link us to code.
