Bootstrap Nav fixed-top & layout issues - css

I'm working on a mockup but keep running into issues with the navbar and main content layout. The page needs to look like the mockup image below on desktop.
I've tried everything I can think of and read up on the bootstrap site but continue running into problems.
First the navbar should be fixed so it scrolls with you. I've copied from one of their templates but it doesn't scroll like the demo unless I change it to pull-right. But if I use pull-right it removes the top spacing and first container spacing needed. I've tried the body tag padding-top but all it does is create more space between the nav and main container not above the nav.
The other issue is the row and column layout in desktop. The col-md-8 doesn't line up with the other col-md-4. It looks ok in mobile with 320 wide.
I'm pulling my hair and not sure what needs to fixed. If anyone can spare some time and have a look I'd really appreciate it.
Live links to the files are below.

link to css override

On your CSS override you have the attribute .navbar (position:relative;) This overrides your navbar fixed top property.
As far as your col-md-4 goes..you have it wrapped in an html descriptor..which is this: <!-- -->. This just gives descriptions of what html attribute is listed. These descriptors are on a lot of your actual html and need to be removed in order for the code to work properly. Remember though some of them are actually descriptors...like <!--fixed navbar-->

hii just checked your live website all problems is the way you are using div tags .. so for first section of image and nav bar it should be in one div tag
<div class="col-md-12">
<div class="col-md-12">
<div class="col-md-4">IMAGE</div>
<div class="col-md-8">your nav bar </div>
</div>
<div class="col-md-12">
Banner
</div>
<div class="col-md-12">
<div class="col-md-4">
HR MARUTIS STUFF
</DIV>
<div class="col-md-8">
HI LOUREM THINGY
</div>
</div>
and soo on
HOPE THIS HELP IN YOUR FORMATTING OF PAGE

Everything seems to be fixed now. Perhaps the biggest issue I was having was getting the navbar in proper locations both desktop & mobile. Originally I was using an override for .nav to modify the margin in order to get the placement right in desktop, but in mobile view it would be in a different position, not to mention it kept sharing the margin ratios of 80px top and 120px right. This would force the toggled menu to be 80px further down rather default 0px. I couldn't figure a way around this so I figured why not try adding a div tag just for the margin spacing. Apparently this seemed to work after adding new info into the media queries. Also fixed a spacing issue when in tablet widths with nav and hero image.
As for the rest of the layout, I used col-md-3 and col-md-7 which pretty much lined everything up right away except for some padding needed. Everything else like h1 and h3 I used a simple class for mobile to adjust the margins again.
If there's an easier way or more efficient way of coding this I'm open to suggestions if anyone has some. Updated Live Link

JqueryUI - Accordion. Display in one line

I use JqueryUI Accordion, and it works great.
I have a structure like this:
<div id="accordionHolder">
<div id="accordionOne"> </div>
<div id="accordionTwo"> </div>
<div id="accordionThree"> </div>
<div id="accordionFour"> </div>
<div id="accordionFive"> </div>
<div id="accordionSix"> </div>
</div>
This is displayed verticaly. Accordions are not big in size. How can I display maybe two or three accordions in line?
Thing is this project is really big, and I am inserting a functionality. I do not dare to touch CSS (not an expert in any case).
I have my page, a container in it. I can define my own rules there.
I have tried setting the main div to float-left and also display: inline... but without much success.
How can I accomplish this?
When I use: float-left on the accordions, they are not displayed anymore. Like they vanish. As soon as I remove the float-left, they show up again.
Image shows what I am trying to achieve:
I tried rendering accordion on separate divs, but when making it: Float-left, same things happens. It "enters" the previous one.
I tried moving them around with padding, but with lmited results. Probelm with this approach is when one accordion is expanded other move down, even if they are stacked horizontally.
I am runinng out of ideas :(
The accordion divs accordionOne -> accordionSix should have css display:inline-block;
This will make them line up horizontally.

Bootstrap navbar navbar-fixed-top crash down after certain size

I'm trying to implement a fixed nav bar, but after certain screen size (~width:989),
the nav bar moves down. It doesn't work on mobile either.
Image:
The navbar is completely stuck to the footer instead of staying on top of the page.
You can check the code at: http://www.lostsavings.co.il
You have a few other issues, but the major issue is that the nav-fixed-top content is at the bottom of the page right now... in other words, you have:
<div class="container"> content here </div>
<div class="navbar"></div>
<div class="footer"></div>
Move that navbar to the top of the natural document flow, as if you were using no bootstrap, jquery, etc...
<div class="navbar"></div>
<div class="container"> content here </div>
<div class="footer"></div>
You'll have to fine-tune quite a few margins, etc... and I see a few !importants that could be getting in the way, too, but I'm guessing some of that has been part of your attempt to troubleshoot this. Making the above change at least made the navbar appear at the top for me.

Display div after its actual position

I am not sure if this is possible. I have a page setup like this:
<div class="sidebar">
</div>
<div class="main">
</div>
The sidebar is set to float:right. It's fine apart from when I resize the window down (as it's responsive), the sidebar appears above the content. It's set to position:static and has no float.
Is it possible to make the sidebar appear 'after' the "main" div when in responsive mode - through CSS only? I can't think of a way to do it using pseudo-elements etc.
PS: I cannot move the .sidebar div down below the .main div in the HTML, because then Google decides it doesn't want to show my author avatar as it's "not relevant" i.e. too far down so ignores it.
Google showing your avatar is not the result of how far down it is. Google looks for this bit of html:
rel=author
See this article: http://searchengineland.com/googleplus-slowly-invading-googles-main-search-results-102416
Once you do that you can switch the order of your html to have "main" first, and then float "main" and "sidebar" left at the appropriate breakpoint.

css working on some pages, but not others

Somewhere along the way something went wonky with the CSS on this site. One some posts, the side bar is in the correct position to the right: http://emgraphics.net/legacyjar/category/the-civil-rights-movement/. But on the Pages and other Posts, it has scooted below the #wrapper area (http://emgraphics.net/legacyjar/). I had only made changes to the #comments section css but I don't see anything there that could have affected it. Have fooled around with all the elements' widths, clear settings, etc. and just cannot nail this down. Any help is appreciated!
Two things:
You're making your CSS work harder than it has to. You're setting container to 100% width then trying to use negative margin to give the sidebar room. Instead, give the main container a set width. Your site isn't fluid, so make life easier for yourself!
Here's the relevant CSS:
#container {
float: left;
width: 720px;
}
You're prematurely closing one of your divs. You have one too many close divs somewhere in the page that has the sidebar pushed down. If you're in FF or Chrome, hit F12 and investigate the sidebar nav. You'll see the div isn't in #main on the bad page, but it is on the good page.
It's not the CSS, it's the HTML layout.
<div id="primary" class="widget-area" role="complementary"></div>
is supposed to be enclosed within
<div id="main"></div>
like so...
<div id="main">
<div id="primary" class="widget-area" role="complementary"></div>
</div>
but on http://emgraphics.net/legacyjar/,
your primary div is outside of the main div like this...
<div id="main"></div>
<div id="primary" class="widget-area" role="complementary"></div>
Once you move the primary div back inside the main div, everything should work fine.
Ahha! This would all make sense if it was a standard html site. But I'm using a generic twenty-ten template for WordPress with css that I've edited. All the pages have the same index/head/sidebar php files. However, there was an extra div tag on the comments.php file. So pages where comments were not allowed worked. But pages/posts where they are allowed went wonky, EVEN if there were no comments OR even a comment form visible. Thanks for the tip-off on the extra div tag!

bootstrap.css - How to hide sidebar when mobile?

i am trying to realize a layout with bootstrap.css. It is especially a main view with a right sidebar. It looks great on the desktop, but i am trying to remove the sidebar when i have a mobile view.
Currently my layout looks like this:
<div class="container-fluid">
<div class="row-fluid">
<div class="span9">
Main view goes here
</div>
<div class="span3 visible-desktop visible-tablet hidden-phone">
Sidebar goes here
</div>
</div>
</div>
So when i have a mobile view, the sidebar disappears. But the main view still has a span9 class, causing the whole view having some whitespace to the right. I am currently experiencing this on an iPhone 4 with mobile safari.
I am no css guru and i mainly work on the backend of webapps, but this time i just want to do it right, because it is for my personal blog. You can check out what i mean with this "whitespace" at my blog. I know that the navbar isn't pretty at all now, but this will be the next thing i'll fix.
Check it on www.responsinator.com
I guess there is no such white-spacing to the right. Moreover row-fluid class of bootstrap converts every child span class to full width when the site is opened on any other device except for desktop. So in any case, the width:100% is assigned to span9 when you open it on iPhone4.
There seems to be a little space on the right cuz of two reasons probably:
1. Text is not justified.
2. container-fluid adds a padding of 20px to the left as well as right.
Hope it helps. :)
