On my Website Homepage I inserted a grey strip container containing social network links. I want it to go all the way to the edges of the page like my footer.
This is the code I used;
.outer {
float: left;
width: 100%;
height: 80px;
background-color: #f8f8f8;
margin-left: -178px;
padding-right: 349px;
position: relative;
}
I know it's an amateur attempt, can someone show me a better way to code this? At the moment when zooming out it detaches from the edges of the page.
Will need to see the html also
Maybe try taking away the margin if that div isn't contained by another one
I'm looking at your site, and I'm not so sure the problem is with the CSS that you've printed out for us.
Your social networks strip is inside a section tag with class ".wrapper" which is set to width 1640px, and the strip is adjusting to the width of that wrapper. Is there a reason you've set that ".wrapper" class so wide?
Your footer, on the other hand, is not inside that same "section.wrapper" element, so it is adjusting to the width of the browser.

I have a "Contact" section on my website, and I have a form section and a contact info section as two separate divs. The form acts just fine, but for some reason I can't get the contact info section to simultaneously stay on the right side while becoming less wide. I have an image so you can understand what the issue is: http://i.imgur.com/smjnXw1.png
I want them to be aligned horizontally next to each other. Thank you!
Assuming your form is correct since I can't see your code, you can edit the css.
#form{
width: 500px; /*fill in the width and height*/
height: 500px;
float: left;
}
#contact{
width: 500px; /*fill in the width and height*/
height: 500px;
float: left;
}
by default divs are as wide as they can be unless specified and a block element, so your #form is taking up the entire width space. Here is an example fiddle of what I think you're trying to achieve.

I think the solution is to apply a float:left to both your form and your contact info section. This way both of these will sit next to each other horizontally. Floats have normally been used to allow text to flow around an image, but sometimes they can be used to position items as well.
Check this out for some information and there are more informative links at the end of the floats post:

Increase the size of the div in which u place the form div and contact div. Also give style with float left property.
<style>
#form #contact
{
float:left;
}
</style>
I am having a lot of trouble getting my button in a BigCommerce theme to vertically align to the bottom. Since it is a responsive design, absolute positioning doesn't quite get the work done. Unfortunately it is the only thing that seems to move the buttons at all; I've tried all sorts of methods with relative positions and the vertical position will not budge. It seems that the products are listed within a list that functions as a table.
Here is the css for the button itself. I added the stuff below "border" and have tried many different ways as well as tried changing display to inline-block.
.product-grid .ProductActionAdd .button {
display:block;
background: #424546;
border: 1px solid #303334;
position: relative;
vertical-alignment:bottom;
bottom:0;
}
I can provide css for the other parts as well. Below is basically what I'm trying to fix. Those with 1-line product names would have the "in stock" button moved up.

Without the full HTML/CSS or a jsFiddle it's going to be difficult for me to provide you with the complete HTML/CSS solution, but here's what will fix the problem:
Wrap the button and description inside of an element and set position:relative on that wrapper element
Give the buttons the following style: position: absolute; margin: 0 auto; left: 0; right: 0; bottom: 5px;
Set the description to a fixed height and give the wrappers a fixed height
That should solve your issue. Here's an example
I am trying to tweak a wordpress site but can't seem to get one of my parent div's backgrounds to be visible through the child divs on top. I've got the background image set for #main. The image I'm using fades to white at the bottom but, in the rendered page, I can only see about the top 23 pixels or so before the rest is blocked...I think by #primary.
The site uses a child theme based on Responsive and can currently be viewed here. I would copy/paste code for your convenience but I'm no longer certain what part of the code is responsible for what I'm (not) seeing. So I apologize in advance if this is not enough information to go on :-/
Looks to me like you have a float problem and the div#main is collapsing. Try one of the various clear-float techniques to prevent that.
For example, try #main { overflow: hidden } as a test - that will normally prevent the collapse.
Classic clear fix issue. Give #main an overflow:hidden or try the micro clear fix if any content is spilling out of the box.
#main {
background: url("http://wp.massosteopathic.org/wp-content/uploads/2013/02/headerhand-contd.jpg") no-repeat scroll 0 0 transparent;
clear: both;
overflow: hidden;
padding: 1.625em 0 0;
z-index: 1;
}
The #main div is only 24px high. This is because all child divs are floating.
add a
<div class='clear'>
with
.clear { clear: both}
just before the closing tag of your #main
I have a website with typical blog layout - one post under another. I would like to place a div that would be like a 'pipe' joining them all - from the top one to the one at the bottom.
THIS picture might explain help you understand my idea. (sorry for handwriting)
I were thinking for example of wrapping whole post area inside of div, resizing it horizontally to smaller, fixed width and centering but could I do that without affecting the contents? I want just the background of that 'pipe' to appear.
Thank you
You can wrap it in a div, and absolutely position the pipe behind it.
Something like:
.wrapper {
poisition: relative;
}
.pipe {
position: absolute;
top:5%;
width: 50px;
height: 90%;
}

So I'm trying to code out my design for my new portfolio website, but I'm having a few issues there that research and hours of smashing my face against the computer screen have not yet solved. There are two big issues right now that I'm stuck on, though there is yet another that I'm currently considering if I even want to deal with at all.
The first issue is the menu. I want the typeface to go from regular to bold when you hover over it, or when you're on that page. Which works. Problem is when you hover over it, the other two items in the menu adjust slightly because the change in type weight pushes them out. My attempts thus far have all ended with failure.
The second issue is the footer. I want it to stay on the bottom of the page. My research has gotten me this far, but instead of what I wanted, now it actually stays at the bottom of the browser, not at the bottom of the content. Thank you for any help you can give!
The page in question can be found at: http://personal.justgooddesign.net/draft/
Your footer is getting jumbled up because you float left and clear right. My personal preference for footers always starts with this very clean method and builds from there. If you're getting confused, separate your inner content from the rest of the page and test away.
With fonts, you have to think more like a UI developer than a graphic designer. Unlike Indesign, Illustrator, etc, fonts and spacing aren't 100% pixel perfect. What will render one way in one browser will render a very different way in another. Bolding a font on the web will make it larger, and it will push spacing. To compensate for that, setup your menu elements to be a bit wider to compensate, then test like crazy. If you solely rely on margins and padding, then a bolded hover element is going to push the menu around every time.
Just a suggestion, setup your css in a separate file and load it in. The code will be cached, which will result in a performance improvement on subsequent loads. Further, you could save yourself a lot of code by doing one class to attach styling to your elements and being mindful positioning relative to other elements. There's no need to individually style every element in your portfolio for positioning.
You can fix the jump in the menu by setting a fixed width on the #menu li, so
#menu li {
display: block;
float: right;
width: 40px; //something like this.
padding: 0px;
list-style-type: none;
position: relative;
text-align: center;
margin-top: 0px;
margin-right: 0px;
margin-bottom: 0px;
margin-left: 20px;
}
EDIT:
To fix the footer issue
remove height: 600px; from the #right rule
add a clearing br in between the #container div and the #footer div
</div>
<br style="clear:both;">
<div id="footer">
You have floating problems as you are not clearing your floats.
Your div#wrapper is always going to be equal to the height of the viewport.
Your div#container is collapsed beacuse you have floated div#left to "left", div#right to "right" and also have absolutely positioned div#footer. What this does is that, it takes these divs from the normal flow of the document and subsequently the div#contaiver is not "wrapped" around these three divs (div#left, div#right and div#fotter")
The same is the case with div#right. The div#intro and div#portfolio have been floated inside the div#right and it is not wrapping it's child divs.
Ther are many ways around these problems. I suggest this.
Include the following code after the last floated element.
<div class="float_clear"></div>
div.float_clear
{
clear: both;
}
For the menu, there is not enough space, Just add.
div#menu>ul>li
{
width: 50px;
}
Try this to fix your footer issue?
<p style = "clear:both">
<div id="footer">
Also
#right {
clear: right;
float: right;
height: 600px; //Remove this line
width: 490px;
padding: 0px;
margin-top: 0px;
margin-right: 10px;
margin-bottom: 20px;
margin-left: 0px;
}
add overflow:hidden to the container...
Whenever you have stuff that is floating, put a div around the floating content and give it
overflow:hidden;
display:block;
width: (some width);
That will fix most floating issues
