To get straight to the point my issue is all sections briefly displaying at the same time stacked together upon initial loading.
I found the exact same issue asked by someone else on github and tried setting the height of all sections to 100% in css like so: .fp-section {height: 100%!important;} but it didn't work. (Correct me if I did it wrong.)
Then I finally found a solution that worked which was by hiding the body until the fullpage.js is fully loaded like so:
body {display:none}
body[class*="fp-viewing-"] {display:block}
Everything works fine with this solution EXCEPT for the responsive div that's supposed to show at certain screen width.
To clarify, my html structure consists of <div id="fullpage"> and <div id="responsive"> under body, fullpage div showing by default and responsive div set as display: none under media query and only showing at certain screen width.
What else can I do to stop all sections displaying the same time on first load?
Regarding the issue with the sections, check my answer here.
Basically:
Assuming #fullpage is your fullpage wrapper and that you use the default selectors for sections and slides:
html,
body,
#fullpage,
.section,
.slide,
.fp-tableCell,
{
height: 100%
}

Not sure how to best ask my question. And I can't yet post screenshots. :( This issue does happen in mere current coding practices. You can currently even see this issue happening on Facebooks home page.

How to replicate live
Grab the right hand side of your browser and pull inwards. Eventually a scroll bar appears. Not necessarily bad. As I have a fixed with here. However… Notice the scrollbar is the length of the background color up in the top of my header which is actually creating a "Curtain" like effect.
Make matters worse:
If on other high level parent elements like .Footer or .Page you play around with overflow and position relative the curtain will then begin overlaying on top of the entire site.
Check out Facebook: They often have this issue as well. Obviously most don't notice it as it's not going over top of the content.
In either case I know there is something not right.
Help appreciated!
Add something like this to your CSS:
body { min-width: 980px; }
You have min-width: 980px; set in many of the elements on your page, but not on html, body, or .container. Once the viewport is smaller than this, these elements will overflow html and give you the scrollbars you're seeing.
But this doesn't make html any bigger. It--and its background--is still at the viewport size. This is why you get the "curtain" effect when you scroll.
Setting width: 100% on html doesn't fix this; this only sets html to 100% width of the browser window. If you're going to use min-width, make sure you you don't just apply it to elements that hold your content, but also those that have your backgrounds.
to fix this, add
html, body {
min-width: 980px
}
in your www.alpacanation.com/styles.css:40, then you are done. :)
EXPLANATION: the problem is this container,
<!— stat container —>
<div class=“container”>
<!— START FOOTER MENU SECTION —>
that container has width:980px which screws up the view because it forces that container to stay at 980px wide while the rest is shrinking, thus creates the ‘curtain’ like effect.
My <footer> tag will not seem to stay at the bottom of my page. I have tried several different techniques to fix it and none have worked.
I have included the link to my working site below.

i think you want to put your footer at bottom of the page i any resolution, if am i right than here is answer.
.footer {
position:absolute;
border:0px;
}

Based on your screenshot, it looks like your monitor's height is larger than your website's content or you have zoomed out a lot, so what you're seeing is totally normal. In a smaller monitor it would look just fine. You could add a min-height: rule to your sites container so it pushes the footer down to the specified value, but you need to figure out a min-height that makes sense to you and your users.
If you really want to make the footer always stick to the bottom regardless of the monitor's height or zoom level, then you could add the following rules - just keep in mind that in a page where there isn't much content, you will end up forcing users to scroll down for no reason if they need to get to the footer:
/*
This rule is already in your stylesheet.
I added it here just for reference.
*/
html, body {
height: 100%;
}
/*
This is the container that holds your whole site.
You should use an id like "#container" or "#site" so this rule
applies only to your site's main container.
*/
.container_12 {
min-height: 100%;
}
SOLVED
I used the solution proposed by Roman below, based on adding an additional DIV with position:absolute, I tested it in IE7, IE8, IE9, Chrome and Firefox and seems to work fine!
So the layout now has 3 full background images (what I needed), and even you can use the BODY bg taking care of that will be cutted off to the browser's viewport height (still could be useful in some cases), "three and and a half" bg images with "sticky footer" :)
The only drawback I found its that the links in the #footerContent were not "clickable", I solved it using position:relative to this container.
I made the changes to the sample I provided and uploaded it to my Dropbox, In the case that someone else could find it usefull.
Thank you all for your answers.

I'm building a quite complex layout for a website where I need to have 3 background images covering the background of the web page. So I have one in the HTML style, one in the BODY style, and the final one in a DIV that it's the container for all the webpage elements (#contenedor)
I'm also sing a "Sticky footer" technique, to have the footer "glued" to the bottom of the page whern there are small contents in the "main content" area.
The problem that I have It's that the BODY bg image gets cut off to the viewport of the web browser, I mean, It doesn't repeat-y below the visible area displayed when the page is loaded, and the contents are "tall" enough to make the webpage scroll.
What I tried until now:
To add an additional container DIV surrounding all (that's ok for me), but doing that It brokes the "Sticky footer" (maybe I did not found the right way to do it... I don't know).
Force the BODY to be as tall as the HTML using:
html>body {
min-height:100%;
height:auto;
height:100%; }
This solves the BODY issue, the image repeats but this also breaks the "Sticky footer"... :(
You can see a sample:
Index with "small contents" all OK... footer on bottom, etc.
http://carloscabo.com/bg/index.htm
Index page with tall contents (simple BRs), scroll down to see the cut on the BODY bg Image
http://carloscabo.com/bg/index_tall.htm
You can also download all the files of this sample in the following URL to do your own local test.

For a reason I don't quite catch, it seems that the body is stuck with a height of 100% of the viewport. It refuses to grow past this point, and does not inherit the real height of the whole page.
However, if you don't mind to add another helper div, you can easily solve the problem.
First lets start with the html:
- Add a helper div before the head section.
<div id="contenedor">
<!--HELPER DIV GOES HERE: BACKGROUND FIX-->
<div id="bgfix"></div>
<header id="arriba">
...
</header><!--header#arriba-->
...
<div class="push"><!--Sticky Footer Push--></div>
</div><!--contenedor-->
And now let's modify the CSS:
- Remove the background from the body, and put it into the new helper div like so.
body {
height:100%;
min-height:100%
text-align:center;
// background:url(../img/bg_body.png) center top repeat-y;
color:#fff;
}
#contenedor {
position:relative; /* For #bgfix to attach here */
...
}
#bgfix {
background:url(../img/bg_body.png) center top repeat-y;
position: absolute;
width: 100%; height: 100%;
z-index:-1;
}
And VOILA!
Hope it helps!!!
The solution I found for this problem is to set min-height to the
min-height: 900px;
900px was the actual height of the background image i used.
I would need to see exactly what do you want to accomplish in order to help you better,
but i will make my best giving you some tips in advance
you shouldn't be applying a background to the HTML tag.
dont play with the height property of your body, it will mess up the sticky footer, instead let body height grow naturally with content.
body will grow with the content, but html wont. html tag IS NOT a container.
I'm giving new life to a boring web page. Please see what my template should look like here: Correct body page
Pretty page!
Now - when I go to add my existing background / menu/ footer - I am somehow loosing my container image -
/* structure */
.container {
background: url(/img/bgcontainer.gif) repeat-y;
margin: 0 auto;
width: 702px;
position:relative;
}
I removed position:relative; (but it still failed). Please note I'm having to use a web content manager only because I have no other access to site. For this reason - my css sheet is in the middle of the page.
This is how the page looks now w/missing bgcontainer.gif:
Current page
Please help - thank you
With the help of firebug I can see that the html structure of the two pages is quite different. On the "good" one you have a ".container" div as a wrapper of most of the content, you can see it here with the black border:
But on the "wrong" one you have a "#container" div in the same position and another ".container" div further down, nested inside that "#container", and it wraps that header only.
The "#container" div of the "wrong" page spans the whole witdh.
By the way, I like your design.
EDIT:
This is the look of the page with float: left; and left:107px; added to the ".container" div.
Here's your biggest problem:
The structure of the HTML pages is MUCH too different to pin this problem on one single line of code. In the "old" page there are 5 stylesheets including your own; in the "new" page there is only one stylesheet.
The reason your old and new pages don't look the same when you add your default.css stylesheet is because the old page has FOUR other stylesheets also applying styles, many of which are overriding your own.
[Update]
I actually compromised on this problem for now by foregoing the fixed footer design.
It seems that there is no problem with dynamic content moving the footer and resizing containers appropriately unless the footer is fixed to the browser bottom initially.
I hope others will eventually provide a great solution that encompasses the best of both worlds.
I spent all day trying to get the footer to move down the page to accommodate dynamically added (via ajax) content. I really need some pointers or links because I haven't found anything that helps.
Basically:
My site has some pages that begin with only a text box and a button so that the total height of the content area is only a few inches beneath the header area.
I don't have any problem getting the sticky footer working so that the footer appears at the bottom of the browser window even when there is very little content on screen.
That same css layout works fine for other pages that have content that extends beneath the browser window.
The catch:
The content has to be rendered and passed to the browser with the initial load.
The Problem:
Any content that is added to the page via AJAX after the initial load paints down the page correctly -- but the footer remains in its initial location.
Please tell me there is a fix for this.
I can't post the css until checking with my boss first - if possible - and if needed, I will later - but it's just a very basic version of the many sticky footer css solutions floating around the web.
Thanks.
Currently fixed similar situation with small jQuery and CSS, where parameter is footer div object (i.e. $("#mainfooter")):
function positionFooter(obj){
if ($("body").outerHeight(true) > $(window).height()) {
obj.css("position","relative");
} else {
obj.css("position","fixed");
obj.css("bottom","0px");
}
}
Bound this function to $(document).ready and $(window).resize.
If ajax call resizes body, this should be called also after content load.
It sounds like your footer is using display: fixed or similar. Try changing the container of your footer to:
bottom: 0;
display: block;
position: absolute;
That will ensure it appears right at the bottom of whatever container it sits within (I'm assuming the <body> tag). Your problem now becomes ensuring that it appears at the bottom of the screen rather than the bottom of your document, which starts of being much shorter. You could accomplish this in a couple of ways, but perhaps the easiest would be to set a minimum height on your AJAX content container:
min-height: 600px;
height: auto !important /* This is a hack to make IE6 fix itself to a set height */
height: 600px; /* IE6 will always follow whatever instruction appears last, even if !important is specified */
The other approach is since you're using a JavaScript library (I assume?) to grab the required content, perhaps you could also adjust the height of the AJAX content container or change the footer's CSS once that content has loaded?
Without any code it´s hard to tell what the problem might be.
However, I´m using a sticky footer as described here that works very well although I haven´t added ajax content in it. Browser resizing works just fine though.
Use include in PHP and call the footer after the dynamic content appears.
I'm not sure you are looking for this, but I am also facing the same problem before and same CSS, where my content overlaps on the footer when i call the ajax through jQuery method.
Now I found the solution: Just get the div height through jQuery and apply the height to the div where you are returning your results from ajax.
var obj = $("#viewcomm").height();
if($.browser.msie) {
$("#viewcomm").height(obj).css({cursor:"auto"});
}
where here viewcomm is div ID.
I solved same kind of problem with following code, where content is the id of div where php pages load and footer is the footer tag.
var footerAdjustId = setInterval(adjustFooter, 2000);
function adjustFooter(){
$("footer").css("marginTop", $("#content").height() - $(window).height());
clearInterval(footerAdjustId);
}
