I have a small gap between everything in my webpage and the browser's edge. I must have added some code that has done this, but am unsure what did. What do I do to remove this? Also in my navigation bar, the last link on the right hand side, has a small gap that is not highlighted on hover on the very edge on the right side of it.
I also need help with the gap between the navigation bar + header and the side banners. How do I remove that gap?

Disregard the .headers_t id in the css, which I am editing right now...unless that's the cause.
The JSFiddle link is here.
You need to add margin:0px and padding:0px to your body CSS
so:
.body{
background-color: #61B329;
height: 50%;
color: #FFFFFF;
margin:0px;
padding:0px;
}

and thanks in advance,
I'm working on a css and html only (no js) menu for my website. I took the code from https://blog.logrocket.com/create-responsive-mobile-menu-with-css-no-javascript/ and adapted it. I have mostly succeeded, but have three issues I'm struggling with.
On the desktop version, I can't seem to set the children at the same height as their respective parents (I can either get the child to open at the top of the menu, or the bottom, but not in between).
On the mobile version, I want to force the children to stay open after they've been hovered on (otherwise it creates a huge disruption as the user gradually scrolls down the options in the menu (IE, the children close, shrinking the menu, while the user's scroller remains in the same place).
As the menu has a hidden checkbox to open/close the dropdown (on mobile), it only closes when clicked within the box. Is there a way without JS to close this anytime the user clicks outside the menu?
I am trying by all means NOT to use JS, if possible. Grateful for any advice.

I have two specific questions concerning my website for my class.
First, my floating left-side vertical nav bar is getting in the way of the different sections on my theme/genre page of my website.
Whenever I go to this page, the nav bar by default is pushing my first section ("Horror") over to the right. This is good and I want ALL of my sections to permanently move to the right so that my nav bar will not be floating over any of my sections. However, right now only this first section is moved to the right and while the nav bar "floats" down, the nav bar either floats directly over the sections or the sections just get distorted and look weird.
Here is the Theme.html page code below. I only included the first "section" for brevity's sake.

I have looked in my CSS class "sections" and tried many times to move that blue border over to the right, but still cannot do it.
Here is my CSS code below for the theme/genre's sections and navigation code:
.sections {border-style: ridge; /*adjusts the Theme/Genre Sections*/
border-width: 10px;
border-color: #1D3D94;
padding-left: 20px;
padding-right: 20%;
overflow:auto;}
.images {float: left; /*adjust the pics in the Theme/Genre Sections*/
padding-top: 10px;
padding-right: 10px;}
#nav {float: left; width: 200px; margin: 10px 0;}
/* define a fixed width for the entire menu */
.navigation {width: 190px;}
/* reset the lists to remove bullet points and padding */
.mainmenu, .submenu {list-style: none;
padding: 0;
margin: 0;}
/* make ALL links (main and submenu) have padding and background color */
.mainmenu a {display: block;
background-color: #CCC;
text-decoration: none;
padding: 10px;
color: #000;}
/* add hover behavior */
.mainmenu a:hover {background-color: #C5C5C5;}
/* when hovering over a .mainmenu item,
display the submenu inside it.*/
.mainmenu li:hover .submenu {display: block;
max-height: 200px;}
/*Now, overwrite the background-color for .submenu links only.
.submenu a {background-color: #999;}
/* hover behavior for links inside .submenu */
.submenu a:hover {background-color: #666;}
/* this is the initial state of all submenus.
we set it to max-height: 0, and hide the overflowed content.*/
.submenu {overflow: auto;
max-height: 0;
-webkit-transition: all 0.5s ease-out;}
Is there any way to permanently move these sections to the right out of the way of the nav bar?
Secondly, I do not want use a scroll bar function in the nested directoires but instead show ALL of my sections together when my mouse hovers over the "Theme/Genre >" heading in my nav bar. As of now, it only shows five of the seven sub-directories before having to use a scroll bar to scroll down to see the rest.
How do I remove the scroll bar and show ALL seven sub-directories?
Thanks a lot for any and all help you may give. I do appreciate it.
You could handle your submenu items with the css :hover states.
And you could place your menu and your content like this :
<div class="site-container">
<nav class="menu"><!-- Your menu--></nav>
<main><!-- Your main content--></main>
</div>
and add display: flex; on the .site-container.
Set the width: of your menu to 200px for example
And the width of the main content to calc(100% - 200px);

You could do an improvement by fixing your menu at the top left of the screen with position: fixed; top: 0; left: 0; z-index: 2;, so it's always visible. And set position: absolute; left:100%; top: 0; on the submenu and position: relative; on its parent li, so the submenu will appears at the right of your menu. It will prevent the menu from doing "Yo-yo".

Use padding-left
Make sure the items that are listed are sitting in a 'container' so that all the children inside the container can sit wherever the parent sits. This allows you to use the following CSS rules for content (with the id of #content for example):
#content {
position: relative;
padding-left: 5em;
box-sizing: border-box;
width: 100%;
}
Explanation
position: relative - make sure the children abide by the basic rules of the parent
padding-left: 5em - Push the parent (content) to the right of the menu by 5em, all children will be relative to the parent
box-sizing: border-box - keep all the padding relative to the inside the width and height of the container (by subtracting the size) rather than appending size dynamically.
width: 100% - Let the container fill the rest of the space (1)
1) if width: 100% is over-taking the space of the menu then consider using width: calc(100% - 5em) where 5em is the width of the menu
Note It's worth putting into consideration that to do this you normally need a fixed/max-width menu and would be ideal to do so. Otherwise text, images and so on may expand the menu infinitely within a percentage of that space.
element:hover
To eliminate the scrollbar on the menu you will have to find what is taking up the space. If these are more items that you want to show/hide when the cursor is above the menu item you can use the element selector :hover which can tell the menu to hide certain items. You can then use it to set before the hover event occurs and during the hover event. For example:
body { background: white; }
body:hover {background: red;}
A more relative example would be to set the height of the main menu item so that the rest cannot be shown (with the use of overflow: hidden)
ul li ul li {display: none};
ul li:hover ul li {display: block}

I compiled this program without overflow:hidden and it wasn't giving the same output,I can't understand why overflow:hidden is necessary here? I even used overflow:auto and it doesnt show scroll so I know that it isn't that the box is too small for data. It is present in the top menu.
I am a newbiee to CSS and it is really confusing for me that why do they have two classes for some elements, why do they use box-sizing,
And please edit if there is any problem with the way I have
asked,because downvoting it prohibits me from asking questions and
- renders me helpless.
I am an experienced CSS user, and this took a while for me to find. The .topbar element is a ul without a defined height, and so it looks to child elements to determine the height. However, as your elements inside are using float, the parent is not resized.
As this previous answer discusses, overflow: none, is a hack to solve this problem. However, I don't think this is the best approach in your case. I would either:
Define a constant height for your topbar
Use flexbox instead of ul
Here's my issue and I'll do my best to be clear here--
I have a simple website laid out in complete CSS using an external stylesheet.
I have a main container holding all of the elements for the website content; however, they all seem to be working except for the one that holds the actual page text and the businessbox. Right now, it's show the main containers background color (green) instead of what it should be (white). I'm positive it is something simple that I overlooked and will probably kick myself later, but thought I'd ask for a second pair of eyes.
Here is what I'm getting and what it should look like. If I'm having problems with this one container, hopefully programming the 3 vertical columns won't be an issue!

You've got HTML comments in your CSS. The browser is skipping rendering the line next to it so your #cbox and #menu styles are never applied. Remove the <!-- MENU ITEMS --> and <!-- CONTENT --> comments and this should work fine.
See this fiddle for that in action.
OP,
Why are you doing this: <img src="#" ... ?
Also, are any of your background-image urls resolving?
Like I said, it was the obvious--used the wrong commenting format and it caused the #cbox attribute to not function correctly.
Thanks for taking your time to help me with my silly problem!
Where you use image or background-image there use overflow: hidden; height: 1%; i think will solve your problem.

For some reason in my footer there's a space to the left of my ul so it isn't lined up with the content above it (membership text etc) If I were to put text outside this ul (but still within the footer wrapper) there is no such space.
Here's what it looks like:

<h1>Ozanam Club</h1>
<p>The first Ozanam Club was started in May 1989 by James Lynch, a member of the
St. Vincent De Paul society who himself had two children with learning difficulties
and who was concerned at the general lack of leisure provision for them.</p>
<p>The Ozanam Club is a Special Works Conference of the St. vincent De Paul Society.
The name of the clubs are called after Blessed Frederick Ozanam who is the founder
of the S.S.V.P. At this present time we have two clubs in Viewpark, an adults club
and a seperate club for younger members. We have an adults club in Hamilton and
Paisley and also a club in Carfin for younger members. </p>
<h1>Membership</h1>
<p>Membership is open to anyone who has disablities, regardless of their race or religious belief.</p>
<p>The aim of the clubs are a fun night out for our members and some temporary respite for parents. All of the clubs are run solely by volunteers who are disclosure checked prior to working with
vulnerable adults/children.</p><p> They are also made aware of the Adults/Children Protection Procedures and encouraged to attend an information session.</p>
<p>You can find more information on our a F.A.Q page.</p>

The <ul> element has browser inherent padding & margin by default. In your case, Use
#footer ul {
margin: 0; /* To remove default bottom margin */
padding: 0; /* To remove default left padding */
}
or a CSS browser reset ( https://cssreset.com/ ) to deal with this.
I don't see any margin or margin-left declarations for #footer-wrap li.
This ought to do the trick:
#footer-wrap ul,
#footer-wrap li {
margin-left: 0;
list-style-type: none;
}
by default <UL/> contains default padding
therefore try adding style to padding:0px in css class or inline css
