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.

Here's the HTML:

And here's my CSS:
#charset "UTF-8";
/* CSS Document */

{
height: 150%;
width: 100%;
margin: 0px 0px 0px 0px;

font-size: 24px;
}
p
{

}
edit: Oh, and to clarify: My pages where, indeed, in the root folder, so no more folder-linking necessary.
But it got solved, thanks! Gotta work something out for the fixed line thing though. But it'll work out.
the problem with the CSS code is you are using fixed position on some classes.
would be better if you remove position: fixed; from below these two classes.
For better understanding check the Demo.
.header
{
height: 216px;
width: 99%;
position: fixed; /*Remove this line; so anchor tag could work*/
background-color: #FFFFFF;
}
.line
{
margin: 0px 0px 15px 0px;
padding-top: 216px;
position:fixed;/*Remove this line; so anchor tag could work*/
}
you are overlapping with position:fixed
remove it from
.line
Demo
It's kinda hard to see without an actual example, but it looks like your .line is on top of them. If I'm correct:
Since it's position:fixed, it is being overlayed at the top, then you have given it a padding-top:216px; which is increasing the area it is consuming from the top, likely overlaying itself ontop of your header and navigation menu.
To fix it, you should figure out another way to position .line wherever you are trying to. You likely want top:216:
.line {
margin: 0px 0px 15px 0px;
top: 216px;
position:fixed;
}
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.

the ul.link-gr links are falling outside the div. I mean everything excluding the links are wrapped inside div.wrapper2 with border and black-ish background but the links are placed outside the box (like outcast-ed). This is very strange. Some explanation from your side will be highly appreciated.
Thanks
I would think this is a float problem: your code contains
.link-gr li{
float: left;
}
The problem is that its container is not float: left, which means that the list items are free to go anywhere. Try adding float: left to the .link-gr as well:
.link-gr{
float: left;
}
This may solve the problem. Fiddle: http://jsfiddle.net/abZHK/1/
Ah floats...
Explanations
See this old article from P.I.E: Clearing floats (IE/Win is IE version 6 there)
Solution
Apply this modern clearfix (on parent of the non-contained floats)

What I want to achieve is that when I don't have enough content then, the scroll bars should hide and the footer of the page remains visible (in the bottom of the page(i.e browser bottom)) without moving scroll bar.
I tested several styles like : position absolute and position:relative in #page_footer and #body_wrapper but Its not working.
I added a DOCTYPE and the problem is solved
but another problem appeared :
the footer fill a large place :
even if I fixed the width, (width:40px)
do you have any idea
Auto Hiding Scroll bars
Concept:-
You can use CSS overflow property to hide the scroll bars. If you apply overflow:hidden on any component of the webpage or on the whole page, the scroll bars will become permanently hidden.
Check this example where scroll bars are visible in a text area.http://jsfiddle.net/qtAqq/1/
Now to hide these scroll bars we will apply overflow:hidden this text area. As you can see the Text is more than the text area but scroll bars are hidden.http://jsfiddle.net/hnyVc/1/.
But We don't want to do that as scroll bars are useful when site has content more than the screen size. So we will use overflow:auto. See this example http://jsfiddle.net/EZr89/
Solution for your Problem:-
As you can see using overflow:auto hides the scroll bars when page has less content and makes scroll bars visible when page has more content than display size. So just add the following code to your page css styles you can auto hide the scroll bars when page has less content:
html
{
overflow:auto;
}
Fixing Footer at the Browser Bottom
You can use postion:fixed; and bottom:0px; on you page footer to fix it at browser bottom. Add this code to your page css styles:-
#page_footer {
padding: 9px 10px 6px;
font-weight: bold;
float: none;
clear: both;
width:100%;
height:40px;
background: url('../images/background_top.gif') #c4b8a1 repeat-x;
/*Add this Code to fix the footer at browser bottom*/
position:fixed;
bottom:0px;
}
Other Issues/Problems in your code
1)Add to your page html at top of all the code.
2)You have coloured the whole body with the darker colour which makes the footer looking big. It can be solved by setting the body color to white and adding a header div with darker color after the container div.
3)You have set a limited width for container div which makes the header look smaller at the center of the page. It could be fixed by giving container div 100% width and placing an inner container div with the limited width to be aligned in center of the page.

Let me know if it helps
add this style to your body
body{
margin:0px;
padding:0px;
overflow:hidden;
}
I'm working on a brand new website and I'm trying to just get the basic layout going. I am using the ASP.NET MVC 4 generated HTML and I would like to get the DIV named body to fill the available space after making room for the header and thus anchoring the footer to the bottom of the browser window. However, what I'm getting right now is three panels just stacked on top of each other.
I would like a solution that would work if the browser supported HTML5 and one if it didn't
Please note I've inlined comments in the CSS to try and explain what I've tried.

Just snap the header and footer at the bottom of the page using fixed positioning.
header, footer{ position:fixed; left:0; right:0; z-index:1; }
header{ top:0; }
footer{ bottom:0; }
Then you can give your body the background your div#body had before. The div gets no background and will expand as much as needed.
div#body{ background:none; }
body{ background:#eee; }
This will look like the div would fill the remaining space of the page. Finally give your header and footer a background so that you can't see the background of the body under it.
header, footer{ background:#fff; }
By the way I would suggest removing body margins. body{ margin:0; }
I believe it's a bit impossible to do that with just CSS. You can make a webpage with 100% height like this:
html{
height: 100%;
}
body{
height: 100%;
}
#body{
height: 100%;
}
And then for header, body and footer you can do like this:
header{
height: 100px;
left: 0;
position: absolute;
top: 0;
width: 100%;
background-color: #f00;
}
#body{
bottom: 100px;
left: 0;
position: absolute;
right: 0;
top: 100px;
background-color: #fff;
}
footer{
bottom: 0;
height: 100px;
left: 0;
position: absolute;
width: 100%;
background-color: #ff0;
}
It might work for a bit, but it'll break at some point. When you resize your browser, it'll be running out of room for your #body. If you want a better solution, you should use javascript. In your javascript, calculate how much space you have for your #body, then either adjust the height of header and footer. Or adjust the #body instead.
