Bxslider: Gray Area at the bottom of Image Slider - css

I'm working on adding bxslider to my Rails web project. I have it added sucessfully. However, what is annoying is that even after altering several CSS feautures, there is gray area at the bottom that does not go away. I've tried setting various heights to 100%, but does not work. I also tried eliminating any borders or padding, which still doesn't do the trick. Has anyone experienced the same issue or knows how to eradicate the gray body part so that images fit the entire height of the slider?

Thanks for the comments! I realized that in order to get rid of the grey area, I needed to adjust the height of the iframe itself, and not tamper too much with the CSS related to the images within the slider or any of its contents.

Bootstrap navbar moves when I change to another section

I made my first Wordpress for learning purposes. I have downloaded Themekraft, and I added my own customized bootstrap header navbar, because I want to customize as much as I can.
I have some sections (only "inicio" and "articulos" are working), but when there is an article with photo (sometimes without photo happens the same), I have realised that blue navbar moves.
I tried to fix it in many different ways (adding a max width for the body
and navbar, deleting a lot of margins and/or paddings...), but I have only discovered that it is a problem of paddings... I think.
I mean, when I add, for example, a padding-top:10px for the body, everything seems to be ok... until I have an article or two. When it happens, it seems i have to add more padding-top on the body in order to "fix" the problem.
I have searched on SO suggestions, looking for some clues, but I found nothing.
Bootstrap navbar moves right on scroll

What could I do? I have uploaded the site to a server so you can check it.

As far as I can see it the issue is not any of your padding. Its the scroll bar that is causing the problem as the content moves somewhat to the left. If your page has lesser content without vertical scrolls you will not see the nav moving.
Is there any other problem that you see apart from horizontal movement?

Navigation bar + windows size

I'm having a hard time trying to figure this out. For example, if you re-size this website's (http://www.noxinnovations.com/) window size until you see the horizontal scroll-bar and then scroll to the right, you'll see that the header's dotted line disappears as well as the color. But sites like facebook or twitter don't have this problem. I was wondering how they do it?
If you take a look their Html and Body elements do not fill the whole page. (The Firebug extension for Firefox makes this evident.) That isn't normal. What happens though is the element which contains the bar's background ends up being constrained by the body element's size. It is probably just the product of bad design on their part. You shouldn't have that issue if you create a site yourself.

CSS: Background image does not fill when scrolling - redux

I am seeking help with trying to fix my background image fill issue. I wanted to have a sticky footer, which I finally figured out, but now if I view my site in a smaller window and then scroll down, my background image disappears. I understand that this is due to my height settings being 100% which makes my image be based off of the initial viewport size, but I can't quite seem to implement any kind of fix.
Here is the site I am working on (still very much under development): http://student.plattsburgh.edu/stipl001/index.html.
The problem is best viewed when looking at this page in a small window: http://student.plattsburgh.edu/stipl001/resume.html.
I have read many, many posts on various sites trying to figure it out (including this one: CSS: background image does not fill when scrolling), but I am not having any luck. I tried setting all the different properties for background in css that I could think of, including some of the newer ones. Then I experimented with the overflow property, but it just hides all of my text or creates a weird scroll-bar that makes my text scroll up over the header. I also tried moving my page background from body to html and my container background from container to body, but it didn't change anything, so I must be doing something wrong (perhaps the fact that I have the two background images to deal with?).
I'm just a coding newbie and have been teaching myself as I go along, so I would really appreciate specific suggestions on what method of fixing this would be best for my site, and how I can go about implementing it. After spending about 10 hours straight on this one problem, I am at my wits' end.
Thank you so much!
just change min-height:100% to min-height:1092px (the height of the image) and you'll be fine...
EDIT:
previous answer was a bit too quick, after having a second look on the code i noticed the error is caused by the floated columns: if you float an element, the container element will not inherit the height of the floated element - that's why the height was set to 100% of the initial window, and was not expanded if the content column got longer.
This can be fixed by adding an extra element in #container, after #rightcolumn, with clear:both on it - this will force the parent element to take over the height of its contents.
See http://jsfiddle.net/uS7Ba/1/ for a simplified example, including improved fixed footer.
Hope it helps...

Horizontal Scroll Bar Issue - On Smaller Screens

I'm working on http://www.lceonline.co.uk
When working on a smaller screen res, anything less than 1000px, I'm getting a horizontal scroll bar appear. This happens on all browsers.
I've tried
overflow-x : hidden;
but then the web pages' background doesnt repeat, it just seems to be one large gray background. It also is a css-3 property, One i'd rather try and avoid.
I've had a look at the sites' DIV tags and still cant see what is actually causing the problem. I havent built this from scratch, someone else worked on it before me and I feel they have used too many containers.
Can someone provide me with a possible solution on how to get rid of it?
Thanks
Your issue is that
#page-container and #page-container2 both have width:1000px;
If you remove the width from both of those the scrollbar disappears, as does the centring and the gray background.

Image Sprites and Cross Browser Compatibility Issues

I'm having some trouble with the CSS in my site, both with image sprites and IE compatibility.
Here is a jsfiddle: http://jsfiddle.net/lipestyle/EjQTP/7/
The two main problems are:
In IE, the contact links at the bottom are not appearing in the blue bar, but way down and to the right of the rest of the site.
The image sprites for MMA Cage Door and FightNight Nutrition are not working. It appears that the hover image is on constant display, as the non-hovered image is supposed to be much lighter than what we are looking at.
On a side note - For some reason the background image repeating isn't working in the jsfiddle, but I haven't noticed a problem with it outside of that.
Any advice that you all can offer would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you.
EDIT
One other thing I am noticing with the sprites. It appears when I hover over an image the first image doesn't disappear, it still remains while the hover image appears on top of it. Is that how it is supposed to work? Because my images are semi-transparent, this is something I would like to avoid if possible.
Here is a link to the site in action: http://bit.ly/h1OXQA
Could be a width, margin-left, or even position relative/absolute giving problems here. I have not checked in depth through all css code to see the cause. A fast/dirty fix, obviously loading alternative css or html for IE7, is that setting (in IE7) the UL #social with top:190px and left:100px , it seems to fit ok (or fine tune to the preferred position) .I'd go from here to guess what is causing to act differently.
Seems you already fixed, images seen light when not hovered, darker when hovered. All in IE7.
