Prepros/XAMPP adding unwanted space under last div/footer - css

In spite of setting all margins and padding to 0, I'm suddenly finding that processing my html & css using Prepros(also tried with XAMPP), is adding extra (unwanted) space under my last item ie. footer. While running the same html & css directly from Notepad++, does not do this (thankfully). Can someone please explain why this is happening since I will eventually be running from a local host.
Here is the HTML:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<meta charset="utf=8">
<title>Title</title>
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width,initial-scale=1">
<link rel="stylesheet" href="style.css">
</head>
<body>
<header>header</header>
<div class="wrapper">wrapper1</div>
<div class="wrapper">wrapper2</div>
<footer>footer</footer>
</body>
</html>
Here is the CSS:
html {
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
border: 3px solid green;
}
body {
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
display: flex;
flex-direction: column;
border: 3px solid lightblue;
height: 100vh;
}
header {
flex: 1;
height: 50%;
background-color: red;
border: 3px solid black;
}
.wrapper {
flex: 1;
height: 20%;
background-color: blue;
border: 3px solid black;
}
footer {
height: 5%;
position: absolute:
bottom: 0;
background-color: orange;
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
}
Here are images of the same code running, first from file:/// and the other from localhost:
Would appreciate any clarification on this matter. NOTE: Above is the discrepancy in every browser i tried it on (Chrome, Firefox and Opera).

I think it's because you mentionned a position: absolute; for the footer.
You shouldn't, because flex property does not apply anymore on the block.
Try the use flex for each children items, like:
header, .wrapper{
flex: 3;
}
footer{
flex: 1;
}
It works for me.

Cloning a website to train with CSS

I'm copying a website to train with CSS (I'm trying to reproduce this:click here to see the image) but I'm having a problem copying borders, this is the result: click here to see and this is the code that I wrote:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<meta charset="utf-8">
<title>Technology - BBC News</title>
<style>
.topbar {
width: 1000px;
height: 40px;
background-color: #ffffff;
}
body {
margin: 0px;
padding: 0px;
}
.logo {
margin-top: 8px;
width: 100px;
float: left;
margin-left: 16px;
}
.topbar-section {
border-left: 1px solid grey;
height: 40px;
float: left,
}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<div class="topbar">
<img src="bbc-blocks-dark.png" class="logo"></div>
</div>
<div class="topbar-section">Sign in</div>
</body>
</html>
May I have your help please?
When I look at this code in Chrome - I can see the left border on .topbar-section.
When you say you are having problems - can you tell us what is happening? Are they not showing, or showing incorrectly?
From what I can see - the main problem is that you have made 2 separate divs where it should be one div inside another.
You've also got 3 closing and only 2 opening - if you are using an editor such as Atom or Notepad++ this can help you keep track of your opening and closing elements.

Preprocessor adding extra (unwanted) space under last div/footer

Inspite of setting all margins and padding to 0, I'm suddenly finding that processing my html & css using a Prepros, is adding extra (unwanted) space under my last item eg. footer.

(edit: addition)Is it possible that this has something to do with the prepros.cfg file that gets added by Prepros? I am also using a trial version of Prepros - could this be causing the issue?

Unwanted Space Between <header> and <nav>

I have the following HTML5 code:
<!doctype html>
<html>
<head>
<meta charset="UTF-8"/>
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0"/>
<style>
body {
max-width: 960px;
margin: 0 auto;
font-size: 120%;
}
header, nav {
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
border: 1px solid black;
}
header {
border-color: red;
}
img.mainpicture {
width: 100%;
height: auto;
}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<header>
<img class="mainpicture" src="http://s29.postimg.org/ajjbb0n07/apic.jpg" alt="A picture"/></header><nav>Navigation area.</nav>
</body>
</html>
Can someone please explain why there is about 5 pixels of empty space between the <header> and the <nav> content, and how can I remove it?
By adding
header {
padding-bottom: 1px;
}
to the CSS file, the height of the white space is extended by one pixel, so it doesn't seem to have anything to do with the padding of <header>.
EDIT: I would like to do it without using <nav style="position: relative; top:-7px;">.
Set display block on the image for fixing fitting issues.
body {
max-width: 960px;
margin: 0 auto;
font-size: 120%;
}
header,
nav {
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
border: 1px solid black;
}
img.mainpicture {
width: 100%;
display: block;
}
<header>
<img class="mainpicture" src="//lorempicsum.com/futurama/960/200/2" alt="A picture" />
</header>
<nav>
Navigation area.
</nav>
Just add
img.mainpicture{
.....................
.....................
vertical-align: top;
}
That will fix the issue:)
It could be because of the inner elements having a margin, that is protruding outside! And also since you have an <img />, give a display: block; to it. Try overflow: hidden; for both header, nav:
header, nav {
overflow: hidden;
}
header img {
display: block;
}
Set the property margin-bottom equal to zero.
margin-bottom: 0;

side by side div not aligning when inside a main container div

I can't seem to get my div to align side by side inside a div, can someone see where the problem is? I am trying to position the divContainer element with a height up to the buttonPanel element and the 2 testDiv elements positioned side by side. I also tried setting the testDiv element with float: left but that didn't work either.

<div id="divContainer">
<div id="test1" class="testDiv">test1</div>
<div id="test2" class="testDiv">test2</div>

<div id="buttonPanel">
<hr/>
<button id="btnOK">OK</button>
<button id="btnCancel">Cancel</button>
</div>
</body>
</html>
Let me give you an example:
you have two div left-div say ldiv and right-div say rdiv.These divs are inside main-div say mdiv
ie
<div class = "mdiv">
<div class="ldiv">
</div>
<div class="rdiv">
</div>
</div>
then you css shoul be like this:
#mdiv{}
#ldiv {float:left;}
#rdiv{ float:left;}
Make the following changes to your code: http://jsfiddle.net/ak9Gs/. box-sizing instructs the browser to take padding and borders into account when sizing an element.
CSS:
.testDiv {
width: 50%;
height: 100%;
border: 2px solid blue;
box-sizing: border-box;
}
.testDiv:first-of-type {
float: left;
}
.testDiv:first-of-type {
float: right;
}
You are giving width as 50% and border with 2px that's why your div'a were not placed sise by side. If you remove border you can get your div's as you need.
DEMO
CSS:
.testDiv {
display: block;
float:left;
width: 50%;
height: 100%;
background-color:#ccc;
}
.testDiv:first-child{
display: block;
float:left;
width: 50%;
height: 100%;
background-color:#f0f0f0;
}
I gave color difference instead of border for both test div's.
change the testDiv class to have display of inline then they will be side by side
.testDiv {
display: inline;
width: 50%;
height: 100%;
border: 2px solid blue;
}
Hope this helps.

How can I get horizontal overflows to work in CSS?

I'm a newbie when it comes to CSS. My overall goal is to convert a small web application that I have which displays data in table to using CSS.
A description of what the application displays is that in a left hand window there is a list of employee names, on the right is a cell for each day that the employee has worked which spans a user selectable period.
In the code below, I can't get the cell elements to overflow so that the user can scroll to the right, instead the cells are overflowing down.
Is there a way I can get the overflow to work horizontally rather than vertically so I can scroll left and right to see all the cells rather than what it is doing now which is creating a scroll bar vertically?
Much appreciated if anyone can help - it's got me frustrated!

Two suggestions:
You're essentially asking for a table-based layout, so you may as
well use an HTML table.
Each of your cells has a fixed width, and your PHP code should know
how many of them to create, so you can set the width of the
container element (#centrecontent here) wide enough to contain them
all.
Also, element IDs are supposed to be unique within the HTML doc, so creating 100 elements all with #cell as their ID is incorrect - you should use a CSS class name instead.
You could put all of the cells in another div and set that div to a specific width.
