I tried to make a banner for my website I'm creating, but when I add it to my website, it turns out really bad with the text. I'm wondering if I can add text to my banner using HTML5 and / or CSS.

I'm trying to center / centre my text on the banner, with a white coloured font (font can be varied). What do I have to do to make this happen? Thanks!
It depends on the kind of text you will be adding to the banner. If you want to add text that will be static (as in, it will never or rarely change) and want to add custom fonts, you should probably edit the image in Photoshop.
On the other hand, if the content in the banner will change constantly, then I would suggest adding the image as a background. Your banner h class would look something like this:
.banner_h{
display: block;
width: *actual pixel size of the banner*;
height: *actual pixel size of the banner*;
background: url('*location of file*') no-repeat;
}
If you leave the width to a percentage what will happen is that the div will not have anything inside of it and thus will not show the banner, so you need to figure out what the actual width and height of the banner is and put it in this CSS declaration so that it shows the banner.
Once you have done this, delete the image from the tag and replace it with the content you wish to add.

I am pretty new to this. I am hoping for some help and advise keeping my divs side by side. One is a menu which works fine but now my content is overlapping and I'm not sure what I did. I should make multiple saves. any advice on positioning my divs would be crazy appreciated.
apologies if my formatting of the post is wrong. brain is fried and my website is due for class tomorrow.

As you are using position:fixed; in div.header and position:relative; in div.main you can change the stack of them using z-index value in CSS. if you want your header on the front side and main on the back side then add z-index:2 in div.header and z-index:1 in div.main.
it is overlapping because you have specified the fixed position to the header which is placing the header on the fixed place and anything on the page will overlap with the header. you can try position:absolute
Remove all the code from div.main. It's not required. Also remove position: fixed from the div.header block.
Heyah, I have a transition for when you click the 'burger icon'(on mobile screens, max 580px) and then it becomes an 'x', I would like to also add a transition to the menu that then opens, can anyone help me how I can achieve that?
transition: all ease-in-out 0.4s;
Do I use this? and if so where do I put it?
$(document).ready(function() {
$("#burger-container").on('click', function() {
$(this).toggleClass("open");
});
});
$(document).ready(function() {
$("#burger-container").on('click', function() {
$("header nav ul").toggleClass("open1");
$("nav").toggleClass("open1");
});
});

it myself. I've always been fascinated with the internet, it's design and social media. I was hooked and wanted to learn how to build my own site to fit my own specific needs. That curiosity then opened a door that could never be shut. When I
learned how to build my first website, I realized I found something that gave me the freedom & versatility I was looking for in my work. Now I've made a full switch to front-end development, where I can use my organization skills and eye for
detail to write clean, elegant code.</p>

Here's a full list of changes to (and notes on) existing snippet I made in order to enable the animation:
You can't animate transition from 0 to auto or to 100%. The only library capable of doing it is velocity.js but they use a kind of a hack to determine the value they are rendering to before animating. To better understand the underlying problem read this.
The article linked above will also explain why I changed animating height to animating max-height.
The #burger element didn't have height and width, making it difficult to use. (One had to click exactly on the lines of the burger on order to open it).
In order to calculate the proper max-height of the element, I chose to wrap your menu inside a wrapper (.animator) as it simplified the JavaScript needed to calculate the height, when opening.
There's no point into making both the container and the contents have height:0 when closed. You're only over-complicating the animation and making it harder for yourself to understand/debug what's going on. So I removed placing open1 on children, I only left it on parent.
There's no point in having more than one instance of $(document).ready(){}. Just place all the code you want to run on that event into one single wrapper.
Generally speaking, there are two types of code you want to run when a page loads:
a. DOM manipulation code - place on $(document).ready(){} - runs first
b. bind to event code - place on $(window).load(){} - runs after
Since this script was a "bind to event" code, I placed it in $(window).load(){}.
Updated pen.
Note: If you ask yourself why I didn't include a SO snippet in the answer and used your pen, the main reason is because your SO snippet is incomplete, as you used relative links for the following assets:
normalize.css,
main.css,
burger.css,
index.js
Hi I'm trying to style the tab sample i found on net.
here is the sample :

}

margin: 0 0.5em 0 0;
}
#header a {
display: block;
padding: 0 1em;
}
#header #selected {
position: relative;
top: 1px;
background: white;
}
#content {
border: 1px solid;
clear: both;
}

margin: 0;
padding: 0 0 1em 0;
}
</style>

<li>Banana</li>
</ul>
</div>
<div id="content">
<p>Ispum schmipsum.</p>
</div>
</body>
</html>
the problem is i want to add the background color for header and set it's width to 100%.
see the difference when i add this css code:
#header{
width:100%;
background-color:#b6ff00;
overflow:hidden;
}
before ( selected tab is merged with content )
after ( selected tab has a border-bottom )
how to fix this?
It's because you are adding overflow:hidden to header and
you haven't cleared floats
below are solutions
Clear:both
Here is definition of clear
A common problem with float-based layouts is that the floats' container doesn't want to stretch up to accomodate the floats. If you want to add, say, a border around all floats you'll have to command the browsers somehow to stretch up the container all the way.

What I want to achieve is that when I don't have enough content then, the scroll bars should hide and the footer of the page remains visible (in the bottom of the page(i.e browser bottom)) without moving scroll bar.
I tested several styles like : position absolute and position:relative in #page_footer and #body_wrapper but Its not working.
I added a DOCTYPE and the problem is solved
but another problem appeared :
the footer fill a large place :
even if I fixed the width, (width:40px)
do you have any idea
Auto Hiding Scroll bars
Concept:-
You can use CSS overflow property to hide the scroll bars. If you apply overflow:hidden on any component of the webpage or on the whole page, the scroll bars will become permanently hidden.
Check this example where scroll bars are visible in a text area.http://jsfiddle.net/qtAqq/1/
Now to hide these scroll bars we will apply overflow:hidden this text area. As you can see the Text is more than the text area but scroll bars are hidden.http://jsfiddle.net/hnyVc/1/.
But We don't want to do that as scroll bars are useful when site has content more than the screen size. So we will use overflow:auto. See this example http://jsfiddle.net/EZr89/
Solution for your Problem:-
As you can see using overflow:auto hides the scroll bars when page has less content and makes scroll bars visible when page has more content than display size. So just add the following code to your page css styles you can auto hide the scroll bars when page has less content:
html
{
overflow:auto;
}
Fixing Footer at the Browser Bottom
You can use postion:fixed; and bottom:0px; on you page footer to fix it at browser bottom. Add this code to your page css styles:-
#page_footer {
padding: 9px 10px 6px;
font-weight: bold;
float: none;
clear: both;
width:100%;
height:40px;
background: url('../images/background_top.gif') #c4b8a1 repeat-x;
/*Add this Code to fix the footer at browser bottom*/
position:fixed;
bottom:0px;
}
Other Issues/Problems in your code
1)Add to your page html at top of all the code.
2)You have coloured the whole body with the darker colour which makes the footer looking big. It can be solved by setting the body color to white and adding a header div with darker color after the container div.
3)You have set a limited width for container div which makes the header look smaller at the center of the page. It could be fixed by giving container div 100% width and placing an inner container div with the limited width to be aligned in center of the page.

add this style to your body
body{
margin:0px;
padding:0px;
overflow:hidden;
}
I have a list like this:
<html>
<head>
<link type="text/css" rel="stylesheet" href="testli.css">
</head>
<body>
<ul id='grok'>
<li>
<img src='na' class='cimg' />
<div class='cinner'>
<p>Title, max two lines.</p>
<p>Some longish text, max two lines, causes problems when too long.</p>
</div>
<div style='clear:both'></div>
</li>
<li>
<img src='na' class='cimg' />
<div class='cinner'>
<p>Title</p>
<p>Some longish text here which may wrap some and cause problems..</p>
</div>
<div style='clear:both'></div>
</li>
</ul>
</body>
</html>
// testli.css
* {
margin:0;
padding:0;
}
#grok {
list-style-type: none;
width: 200px;
}
#grok li {
background-color: lightgreen;
margin: 5px;
padding: 5px;
text-align: left;
}
.cimg {
width:70px;
height:44px;
float:left;
}
.cinner {
float: left;
margin: 0px;
padding: 0px;
margin-left: 10px;
font:14px;
}
when the text in the p elements is short, the layout behaves as I want - the thumbnail and the text should appear as if they're in two separate columns. I'm basically looking to recreate the thumbnails youtube has for recommended items - thumbnail on the left, some text in another column to the right of it. Title and text each allowed two lines of text each.
If the text is too long, the cinner div gets placed below the thumbnail. What's the right way to force it to always be to the right?
Thanks
You could do it by setting a min-height on the <li> and then absolutely positioning the image to the left of the title and description:
#grok {
list-style-type: none;
width: 200px;
}
#grok li {
position: relative;
margin: 5px;
padding: 5px;
min-height: 44px;
/* min-height fix for IE6. Ideally this would be in an IE6 only stylesheet */
height: auto !important;
height: 44px;
background-color: lightgreen;
}
.cimg {
position: absolute;
left: 0;
top: 0;
width: 70px;
height: 44px;
}
.cinner {
padding: 0 0 0 80px; /* Makes room for the image so it doesn't overlap text */
font: 14px;
}
Add max-width to .cinner (if I don't mistaken - max-width: 110px).
