CSS doesn't appear to be properly working - css

the contact form i have on my front page that im making, has some CSS on it so its all centred, fits inside the white box it creates etc, yet one of the fields doesn't seem to fit inside the white box but everything else does, heres the site.
https://www.traveltradewinds.com/ttw/
When i change the CSS to try and fix it, i noticed that the width being set to 110% fits it in, but then isn't in the centre of the screen as a result, on a side note, the checkbox isn't the default input type checkbox it has a style to it that i haven't added, can anyone help me to show whats going wrong as it looks like ti should work to me?
Many thanks
Edit: forgot to add the CSS code, sorry:
#media only screen and (min-width: 40.063em) {
.hero .hero-inner {
width: 100% !important;
float: left;
margin-left: 1.38889%;
margin-right: 1.38889%;
}
}
.hero .hero-inner {
width: 100%;
float: left;
margin-left: 1.38889%;
margin-right: 1.38889%;
}
ul {
display: flex;
}
form {
border: 1px solid white;
background: white;
padding: 10px;
border-radius: 5px;
}
.widget ul {
list-style: none;
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
}
.hero .widget ul li, .hero .widget ol li {
list-style: none;
height: 48px;
margin: 50px 15px;
height: 48px;
margin: 50px 15px;
}
.hb-submit{
text-align:center;
}

Looks like it belongs to hotel-booking.css. Please check this

You didn't need to use the FORM tag for parent and LIST tag to children. You would use the DIV to create this part and then give 17% of main width to each subDIV.(1% to margin) such as below code:
body {
width: 100%;
text-align: center;
}
.mainDIV {
background: red;
width: 80%;
}
.subDIV {
background: blue;
height: 100px;
width: 17%;
margin: 1%;
display: inline-block;
}
<div class="mainDIV">
<div class="subDIV">
</div>
<div class="subDIV">
</div>
<div class="subDIV">
</div>
<div class="subDIV">
</div>
<div class="subDIV">
</div>
</div>
I hope it will be useful.

Margin-top vs display block - Cannot get both working - CSS

The app (RoR) shows a set of rows with posts info. Each row has the title aligned to the left and date aligned to the right.
I need to have a link working over all the row, not only over the text.
If I don't use float, the link works properly over all the row but I cannot establish a margin-top. If I use float, the margin-top works OK, but then the link only works over the text.
I don get what the issue is. Any ideas?
This is my css:
.post {
margin-left: auto;
margin-right: auto;
width: 900px;
height: 40px;
border-bottom: 1px solid #BDBDBD;
}
.post a {
display: block;
text-decoration: none;
}
.post a span.title{
float: left;
margin-top: 7px;
}
.post a span.date{
float: right;
margin-top: 7px;
}
I assume your html structure is like this:
<div class="post">
<a href="#">
<span class="date">date</span>
<span class="title">title</span>
</a>
</div>
Note: I moved the date up and title down, because we're going to make the first one to float right. You can then use margin or padding as needed.
.post {
margin-left: auto;
margin-right: auto;
width: 900px;
border-bottom: 1px solid #BDBDBD;
}
.post a {
display: block;
text-decoration: none;
padding: 10px 0;
}
.post a span.date {
float: right;
}

Fix the alignment of two child divs

The project is to create a micro-blogging website similar to Twitter. I chose to name the site Chirper (how clever of me). Each post is structured by a parent div, an avatar div and a content div. The avatar and content divs are displayed inline, but they are not aligned properly. Any help is appreciated.
HTML:
<div class="chirp">
<div class="chirp_avatar_region">
<img src="img/avatar/default.png" alt="Avatar" width="64" height="64">
</div>
<div class="chirp_content">
<p>
USER
<span class="timeStamp">2013-11-22 16:43:59</span>
</p>
<p>

</div>
The div's aren't aligned how I want them to be (level and 100% of the parent).
I can't post images, so here is a link to an imgur page: http://imgur.com/Mn9mE5q
Relevant CSS:
body {
font-family: Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif;
color: #000;
background-color: #666;
font-size: 1em;
}
/* Containers */
div {
margin-top: auto;
margin-left: auto;
margin-right: auto;
margin-bottom: 10px;
border-style: solid;
border-width: 3px;
border-color: #000;
padding: 10px;
}
div.pane {
width: 70%;
background-color: 0099FF;
}
div.chirp {
border-width: 1px;
margin-bottom: -1px;
width: 80%;
padding: 5px;
}
div.chirp_avatar_region {
display: inline-block;
width: 10%;
height: 100%;
text-align: center;
/*border-style: none;*/
}
div.chirp_content {
display: inline-block;
width: 80%;
height: 100%;
/*border-style: none;*/
}
div.chirp_avatar_region > img, div.chirp_content > p {
margin-top: 0;
vertical-align: middle;
}
You can either float your inner divs then clear the float following the container
or
use vertical-align:top to position your divs at the top of the container
Not entirely sure, but what I think is happening is that by defining position:inline-block, it's putting them on the same line, and making the line-height the height of the chirp_content container. In a sense anyway.
Set to vertical-align:top; and it should solve it.
Ex.
.chirp_content, .chirp_avatar_region{ vertical-align:top; }
JS Fiddle
Give to the avatar_region a float: left, and remove its width: and height: setting. Remove the chirp_content div, it circumvents the inlining.

CSS Layout shifts to Right on iPhone/iPad?

Super weird: For some reason, my site's front page layout (CSS) shifts to the right on a mobile device when it's supposed to be centered? See: http://www.stylerepublicmagazine.com

Here's the main portion of the stylesheet for my template:
#wrapper {

width:100%;
margin: 0, auto;
margin-top:60px;
}

margin-left:150px;
}
#featureslides {
position:absolute;

Thanks,

You're declaring a lot of margin-left properties which causes the elements to shift to the right.
Before and after removing the margins on the left.
As some others pointed out, you're simply using too many position: absolute properties in your CSS and basically, you've tuned your layout for one resolution (1440 wide). For example, on my resolution of 1920x1080, your layout appears on the left.
You can fix this by removing all position: absolute properties and using substitutes. For example, for the main column, you should be using margin: 0 auto, which will center it.
I've created an example of a layout you can use, to get an idea of the various types of positioning you'll want to use for your layout. I essentially duplicated the layout (more or less) using different properties that should scale across resolutions and devices.

Too much position absolute for the CSS I think.
Change these few CSS for content to center.
#wrapper {
width: 100%;
margin: 0 auto;
margin-top: 60px;
}
#topbanner {
margin-left: 180px;
width: 990px;
margin: 0 auto;
}
#magnavigation {
margin-top: 150px;
margin-left: 150px;
margin: 0 auto;
}
#featureslides {
margin-top: 240px;
margin-left: 190px;
width: 1000px;
margin: 0 auto;
}
I suggest you to reconstruct your section as it's quite a mess and hard to control from what I saw.

Css divs layout issue

Please take a look at this laytout which i built with divs:
First of all you can ignore Header section
So Content has to be centered exactly at the center and it has a fixed width which is easy, but Left Column needs to extend from left side until it reaches Content and here is the difficult part, since the gap betwen Left Column and Content can be any length it's hard to know what width to set.
Now i know it would be fairly easy to do this with javascript but i would like to avoid that if possible.
EDIT as requested here is the code:
<div class="left_column"></div>
<div class="content"></div>
.left_column{
width:100px;
height:100px;
float:left;
}
.content{
width:100px;
height:100px;
margin:auto;
position:relative;
}
Take a look at Object-Oriented CSS. In particular, check out their grids page
tried percentages?
overflow: auto;
padding: 10px;
width: 45%;
try float left float right as well as display inline, you could also try width auto but that don't work too well
float:left;
width:auto;
height: auto;
display: inline;
there is also one more trick used in menus
<div id="mail_menu">
<ul>
<li><a href=something</a></li>
</ul>
</div>
css
#mail_menu {
position: relative;
top: 0px;
left: 0px; /* LTR */
z-index: 3;
color: #000;
}
#mail_menu ul {
list-style-type: none;
}
#mail_menu li {
display: inline;
float:left;
margin: 0px;
padding: 3px;
}
#mail_menu a {
color: #000;
background: #FFF;
text-decoration: none;
font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
font-size: 12px;
font-weight: bold;
margin: 1px;
border-color:#CCC;
border-width:1px 0;
padding: 2px;
float:left;
border-width:1px;
border-style:solid;
border-bottom-color:#aaa;
border-right-color:#aaa;
border-top-color:#ddd;
border-left-color:#ddd;
border-radius:3px;
-moz-border-radius:3px;
-webkit-border-radius:3px;
}
#mail_menu a:hover {
color: #0000DD;
text-decoration: none;
background-image: url(/images/lyel.png);
background-repeat: repeat-x;
}
css to middle something
.middle {
display: block;
width: 50em;
margin-left: auto;
margin-right: auto
}
and finally some table values for display to mess with
.td {
display: table-cell;
display:inline
}
.wrap{
position: inherit;
}
.tr {
display: table-row;
display:inline
}
table {
border-collapse: collapse;
}
th {
text-align: left; /* LTR */
padding-right: 1em; /* LTR */
border-bottom: 3px solid #ccc;
}
I would use percentages, but go 1% short of where you should. I've found a lot of times a browser will "round up" a pixel or something, so if you have your percentages totaling 100%, any extra added will push a div below.
For instance, if you wanted two divs, one on the right and one on the left, have one of them have width:49%; and the other width:50%;.
This can be accomplished using this hack, please try this:
div.header { height: 50px; line-height: 50px; background-color: #222; color: #eee; }
div.wrapper { background-color: #b261da;position: relative;z-index: 0; }
div.wrapper div.content { width: 600px;margin: 0 auto; background-color: #6189fe; color: #fefefe; }
div.wrapper div.left-column { background-color: #00fe72; position: relative;width: 550px;float: left;z-index: -1000; }
with this markup:
<div class="header">Header</div>
<div class="wrapper">
<div class="left-column">Left Column</div>
<div class="content">Content</div>
</div>
Note the left-column will be cutted if you resize the screen too much. Either way, I hope it helps.

Trying to force a div to the top of a page

Hi have had to put the menu bar further down the page so javascript will load a slide show.
I am trying to then push the menu bar up. Can I put in an absolute reference so it appears a t the top.
#left, #middle, #right {
background-color: inherit;
color: inherit;
float: left;
padding-left: 10px;
padding-right: 5px;
}
#left {
width: 15%;
min-width: 10em;
padding-left: 5px;
background: #fff;
}
#middle {
width: 80%;
border-left: 3px dotted #999;;
background: #fff;
}
#header {
width: 100%;
background: #666;
}
#footer {
clear: both;
width: 100%;
background: #fff;
}
#left2 {
width: 15%;
min-width: 10em;
padding-left: 5px;
background: #fff;
margin-top: -500px
}
#middle2 {
width: 80%;
border-left: 3px dotted #999;;
padding top: 500px
}
In Html
<div id="middle2">
<div id="left2">
Although it is completely unclear in your code what the 'menu bar' is, or which class might apply to it, it seems to me you should try absolute positioning in CSS
CSS:
.menubar
{
position:absolute;
top:20px;
left:20px;
}
html:
<div id="some_menu_bar" class="menubar">
your menu goes here
</div>
I am trying to then push the menu bar up.
This makes me think you hope to delay the positioning of the menu bar until some script has executed. You cannot do this with CSS alone*.
*Ok perhaps you can with CSS3 and animations but this isn't well supported at the moment.
