I'm writing down a website using HTML and CSS3 and I have encountered some problems putting div's into each other and using the absolute position. When I add the position:absolute, I can set the div's background color and manipulate the objects within it, but it's been removed from the DOM, which creates some other difficulties for me (like not knowing how to set a footer). My question is how to make so, that all the elements inside my #content div are aligned properly, the height is set automatically and the background-color is the same for all of them?
UPDATE:
fiddle
add a div with clear class upper than footer and style clear: both;
...
<div class="clear"></div>
<div id="footer">
</div>

As you can see from the source code, the #news, #news-1 and #news-2 have this rule:
background: #F2F2F2;
Could you tell me why the background doesn't change and it's still white ?
I have noticed that the background change when I resize the browser's window.
It's because the floats are causing the div to not be of any height. You need to add a clearfix class to the elements you're trying to set the background to.
<div class="col-md-10 center-block clearfix" id="news">
This will cause the #news div to clear itself, thus making its height encompass the contained div elements. Do the same for your other containing elements as well.
How do i go about setting up a full height side bar using a responsive grid system, that is similar to bootstrap?
The issues I am running it to is the .main wrapper div collapses to the height of the .primarycol div.
I 'm using pull and push classes to adjust the visual layout so the .secondarycol div looks like its on the left hand side, even though it is after the .primarycol div in the code.
<div id="main" class="main content">
<div class="row">
<div id="primarycolumn" class="primarycol col12 col9-768 col3-768-push" role="main"></div>
<div id="secondary" class="secondarycol col12 col3-768 col9-768-pull col7-1024-pull" role="complementary"></div>
</div>
</div>
Normally the without the .secondarycol` class, the div would and look like this.
I have tried adding min-height:100% to the .main div and height:100% to the body tag, but that makes the main div height only ever be the height of the browser window and not the content.
Any suggestions on how I can remedy this would be really welcome.
This is the codepen of my base structure.

I've added in the third column as well as some pages require one.
The column system is based on bootstraps, but i think it's an improved version:
The column classes are declared from smallest size to largest size.
I've also changed the class names to indicate the breakpoint size rather then xs,sm,md,lr etc..
Thanks
At least on chrome you need to set the height on the html tag too. Try it - http://jsfiddle.net/27kze60s/
html, body { height: 100%; }
Fixed, thanks to everyone for the suggestions
I've added the following to the css
height:100% to body
min-height:100% to .main
overflow:-y: auto to .secondarycol
I've updated the codepen - http://codepen.io/onebitrocket/pen/ZYQLMm/
I have a problem with positioning divs on my page, I don't want to use top:50px; because I want to have comments in there as well so here comes my question is there any other way to position divs apart from "top" such as display:block in list styles?
thank you so much for any help!
Divs will appear naturally in the DOM flow. They will take up 100% of the width of their parent container by default and will base their height from the non-floated content within them. Use margins to space them out accordingly. By default they have position:static. If you want list styles, use <li> which are display:list-item and not display:block.
Example:
HTML:
<div class="comments"> Some really long comments </div>
<div class="foo"> Something that should appear below the comments </div>
CSS:
.foo {
margin-top : 50px;
}
There are my codes. (jsfiddle)
Why this part of my codes isn't running?
header{background-color: #2bd5ec;}
I want to add background color to header tag. What i need to do?
The issue here is that since the elements inside your header are floated, they're considered in a different flow than your header, and thus it doesn't resize to fit them.
One way to fix this is to append <div style = "clear: both;"></div> to your header; little demo: little link.
You can also just add overflow: hidden; to your header: another little link, or float it as well: yet another little link.
you can set Height for Header.
for example :
header{background-color: red; height:100px;}
and you can use "clear" like this :
<header>
<div id="info">
<h1>Oyunn.in</h1>
</div>
<div id="categories">
<p>Barbie - Benten - Senten</p>
</div>
<br clear="all"/>
</header>
and css:
header{background-color: #2bd5ec;}
#info{float: left;}
#info h1{font-size: 100%;margin: 0;}
#categories{float: right;}
#categories p{margin:0;}
use overflow:hidden
header{background-color: #2bd5ec; overflow:hidden;}
The overflow CSS property specifies whether to clip content, render scroll bars or display overflow content of a block-level element.
Using the overflow property with a value different than visible, its default, will create a new block formatting context. This is technically necessary as if a float would intersect with the scrolling element it would force to rewrap the content of the scrollable element around intruding floats. The rewrap would happen after each scroll step and would be lead to a far too slow scrolling experience. Note that, by programmatically setting scrollTop to the relevant HTML element, even when overflow has the hidden value an element may need to scroll.
The overflow declaration tells the browser what to do with content that doesn't fit in a box. This assumes the box has a height: if it doesn't, it becomes as high as necessary to contain its contents, and the overflow declaration is useless.
SEE DEMO
Add
header{background-color: #2bd5ec;width:100%; height:30px;}
Background attribute usually needs div's dimensions
actually you didn't clear your child floats so whenever we are using float so we should clear the floats and we can give overflow: hidden; in our parent div to clearing the child floated div's.
header {
background-color: #2BD5EC;
overflow: hidden;
}
see the demo:- http://jsfiddle.net/vE8rd/17/
Background
I have the following html code:
<div id="parent">
<div id="child">
I'm the child!
</div>
</div>
I want the parent div to be positioned relative to the bottom of the page as with the css properties position: absolute, bottom: 0px.
This works fine if the child div(s) have no padding or border. However, as showcased in this JSFiddle example, if the child has padding or a border, it expands beyond the bottom of the parent div (notice the rendered page is scrollable and there is additional content from the child div below the bottom of the page).
Question
What's the best way to make sure the parent div fully encompasses the child div vertically? (Correct me if I'm wrong, but this doesn't appear to be a problem with horizontal padding/borders)
My best idea was to add the sum of the padding/border/margin of to the padding to the parent div. Using something like SASS to generate the actual css makes this slightly more palatable, but still seems like a really unclean solution. Is there a better way?
Thanks!
(As a side note, when I made the JSFiddle example I noticed the right border was missing on the child div. Is this just a fluke with JSFiddle or something?)
If you get rid of those display: inline;s it will work like a charm.
