Whenever I am trying to include an .html page (which contain a navigation bar in bootstrap code) in my jsp page, then it doesn't show all the details on navigation bar. But whenever I tried to include it in a separate single page, it shows everything. It is clear that there might be a conflicting .css file, because I have some code in my jsp file.
How can I fix this?
Without being able to examine the css in question myself (which might help matters) all I can really do is advise how to examine CSS.
Using Google Chrome, the best way to figure out CSS conflicts is to right click on an element - e.g. the problematic nav bar - and click Inspect Element.
This should bring up a bar similar to the one shown here:
Note the styling details on the left - it allows you to easily trace where the CSS that affects the element you've inspected comes from. More importantly, it also has a line through 'padding:.6em .8em;' - this is an overridden style, and the padding a bit further below which has no underlines is the style that overrides it.
If you're having CSS problems like this, you should be able to trace which styles are being overridden using the chrome inspect window. If you post your CSS, I might be able to be a bit more specific.

I have a responsive Drupal Zen subtheme that I hacked together about a year & a half ago from some CSS & HTML that a non-Drupal designer handed off to me for my website. I've known that in certain layouts, it is buggy, and needs to be fixed, but I just haven't gotten around to it. After repeatedly reaching out to a local Drupal developer (and offering to pay him), I've gotten tired of waiting, and just need to fix this thing.
My bounce rate for folks on mobile devices is awful.
The URL is http://developcents.com. The homepage looks decent on any device. Internal pages need a lot of help, though, when viewed in certain screen sizes (including mobile devices). Let's use http://developcents.com/blog as an example.
In the below scenario, my question is not how to find the CSS files themselves. Rather, my question is, how can I find the necessary CSS settings using Firebug Lite, so that I can debug the CSS through my browser, instead of having to manually update each CSS file every time I want to test a change?
I can't find the actual CSS-styled divs, blocks, etc... causing the layout to break under certain dimensions. I know how to find, and edit, the CSS within the CSS panel, but I can't track down the specific CSS in this instance.
Additionally, as a secondary question, if you want to provide pointers on what I actually need to change, then please be my guest! But if you point me in the right direction on how I can go figure it out myself, that's fine too. :)
Let's get on to the scenario (which you can easily see by testing it yourself):
When I resize my browser window down to a certain size, the links & tweets section in the left sidebar move over to the right, so that the left side of the navbar aligns with the right side of the header area, while the content spans the full width of the page, except for the left margin, which stays in place but gets wider. Basically everything below the header gets screwed up, and it's easier to see the problems than explain them (so go test it).
Using Firebug Lite in Chrome, I can't seem to find the left margin for the "main" content area (see this screenshot clearly indicating the yellow margin), nor can I find the CSS for the navbar / tweets block (which I presume is some sort of float).
To modify the CSS within Firebug or Firebug Lite just select an element inside the HTML panel or inspect it via its inspector. Inside the Style side panel you'll see all CSS rules applying to the element.
Clicking the name or the value of a CSS property opens an inline editor to allow editing it.
On the right side of each rule you'll see the name of the style sheet, which contains the rule. Hovering it displays you the full URL and clicking it allows you to inspect it within the CSS panel.
You can also edit the styles directly within the CSS panel, which lists all style sheets available on the page.
Note: The changes you do there are not permament, i.e. on the next page reload they are gone! To make permanent changes you need to edit the files on the server.
Also note that I'm referring to the panels within Firebug. The panels within Firebug Lite basically work the same, though may look and work a little bit different. Furthermore Firebug Lite is not maintained anymore, so there's no guarantee that everything is working as expected.
I cannot get hyperlinks to show up as an overlay (or watermark) in front of an image, as they should. Instead, I believe something is being overwritten by my WordPress theme's CSS, leaving plain HTML hyperlinks below the image.
Here is what my page looks like:
But here's what it's supposed to look like:
Here is what Chrome Inspect Element is telling me (Full image):
Here is what Firebug is telling me (Full image):
Unfortunately, I'm clueless with CSS. I believe my WordPress default theme is overriding some important settings, but I'm unsure what/how to adjust things. I can simply add !important clauses to things in my custom CSS, but I'm unsure as to what to put or how to put it.
Here is the stylesheet associated with my website, and here is a website that has the exact same thing I have, except it's functioning properly.
Any guidance in this regard would be greatly appreciated!
I am building a site using Drupal 7 and have run into a CSS issue. I am trying to wrap everything on this registration page in the center and at the same time reduce the width of the drop down buttons. I believe I've narrowed the problem to my logintobaggan (drupal module) css sheet. But the button "widths" seem to be from the foundation.min.css (according to chrome elements). How would you guys approach this CSS problem? I am relatively new, so please don't be too harsh ;). Thanks!

I would get Firebug or similar in-browser development tool, select the element you are interested in seeing the CSS properties for, and then see exactly which rules are being applied or overridden. You can even modify the CSS right there in the tool until you get want you want.
From such a tool, I can see that the button widths are not explicitly defined, but are basically derived from the amount of padding (5px) around the text string inside the button.
The rules are defined starting on line 41 of this file:

Is there a way to quickly copy all of the css code of the inspected element in google chrome?
I found that while designing, it's sometimes easier to change the css on-the-fly via inspect to figure out correct pixel distances, rather than changing in the code and refreshing the page.
Does that capability even exists?
thanks to steveax's comment I was able to find the answer, which I will share with you
Once the inspected element has been edited, going to the sources tab and choosing the appropriate CSS where that element is defined, the edited attributes will appear there, which you can copy regularly..
Obviously, a copy straight from the style window would be more comfortable..
I'm trying to get a specific generated CSS for an area on one of my sites to use this CSS on the homepage from one of my sites.
I used all types of soft and FF add-ons to get the complete CSS for that specific area. However, they do not combine the CSS as 1.
I still have to copy/paste and have a chance of getting duplicate-loaded CSS.
My hope is that there exists a code snippet that reads the CSS between 2 divs and generate a .css file on the fly so I can use the generated CSS in another project.
(The reason I ask this is because there are over 4000 lines of CSS loaded from different CSS files.)
If you inspect an element (right click on it, "Inspect Element") in Chrome there's a styles window on the right, underneath that is Computed Style, this includes everything non-standard about that element including all ancestors properties that made it that way.
Using the styles listed under there, you can get everything together that made the style you're seeing.
