I am using http://www.dynamicdrive.com/style/layouts/item/css-liquid-layout-32-fluid-fluid-fixed/ as the starting point. I want one of the column to always remain visible at the top. I put {position: fixed; top: 0} in the right column css, but that did not achieve what I wanted. It just made the right column content disappear.
How to achieve what I want (using css only, preferably no javascript, atleast no jquery).
Below is total code. Just 2 line modification from original one.

Your CSS puts the 3rd column off the left side of the screen that is why it is not visible.
Change your CSS from
#rightcolumn {
top: 0;
position: fixed;
float: left;
width: 200px;
margin-left: -200px;
background: #FDE95E;
}
to
#rightcolumn {
top: 0;
position: fixed;
width: 200px;
right: 0;
background: #FDE95E;
}

I am a new css programmer and there is a very annoying problem in my code. when I put the grey bars in they are not touching the left side of the screen they touch the right side but not the left side and I do not know why there is nothing in my code that is stopping them so I do not know why it would be doing that please help me fix it thanks! (the big white space in the middle is supposed to be there it is for a picture.)

By default the body on the page has this css:
body {
display: block;
margin: 8px;
}
body:focus {
outline: none;
}
at the top of your css file just add:
body {
margin:0;
}
this way you're working with 0 margins to begin with.
Margins of <body> don't matter because those grey bars are absolutely positioned to the right therefore they stick to the right side of <html> element. If the screen resolution (the width of your screen or window) is bigger then the width: 1870px;, they are gonna stick to the right side and leave an empty space on the left.
If you want those grey boxes to always stick to both sides of your screen, use width: 100%; or no width and left: 0; instead:
.connect {
background-color: #6b6b6b;
position: absolute;
top: 340px;
right: 0;
width: 100%;
height: 40px;
border: 3px solid #6b6b6b;
}
or
.connect {
background-color: #6b6b6b;
position: absolute;
top: 340px;
right: 0;
left: 0;
height: 40px;
border: 3px solid #6b6b6b;
}
Both will stretch the element to the width of their parent element.
But it is good to set the body's position to relative and get rid of its default margins. In my opinion, you shouldn't use the <html> tag for styling. It will make those absolutely positioned grey boxes stick to the sides of <body> and not <html>:
body {
margin: 0;
position: relative;
}
See this link to learn more about positioning: http://www.w3schools.com/css/css_positioning.asp
I can't seem to get my div to align side by side inside a div, can someone see where the problem is? I am trying to position the divContainer element with a height up to the buttonPanel element and the 2 testDiv elements positioned side by side. I also tried setting the testDiv element with float: left but that didn't work either.

Let me give you an example:
you have two div left-div say ldiv and right-div say rdiv.These divs are inside main-div say mdiv
ie
<div class = "mdiv">
<div class="ldiv">
</div>
<div class="rdiv">
</div>
</div>
then you css shoul be like this:
#mdiv{}
#ldiv {float:left;}
#rdiv{ float:left;}
Make the following changes to your code: http://jsfiddle.net/ak9Gs/. box-sizing instructs the browser to take padding and borders into account when sizing an element.
CSS:
.testDiv {
width: 50%;
height: 100%;
border: 2px solid blue;
box-sizing: border-box;
}
.testDiv:first-of-type {
float: left;
}
.testDiv:first-of-type {
float: right;
}
You are giving width as 50% and border with 2px that's why your div'a were not placed sise by side. If you remove border you can get your div's as you need.
DEMO
CSS:
.testDiv {
display: block;
float:left;
width: 50%;
height: 100%;
background-color:#ccc;
}
.testDiv:first-child{
display: block;
float:left;
width: 50%;
height: 100%;
background-color:#f0f0f0;
}
I gave color difference instead of border for both test div's.
change the testDiv class to have display of inline then they will be side by side
.testDiv {
display: inline;
width: 50%;
height: 100%;
border: 2px solid blue;
}
Hope this helps.
I have a web page with large div(for example white) and another div that is follows the previous one. The problem is that if white block is big enough and it height is almost or even bigger than the browser window(and scroll bars appear), the red block is in the bottom of the page there is still gap between red div and end of the window in Firefox/Safari/Opera:
But in Explorer/Chrome everything is ok:

How to solve this problem and have the same page without blue gap in Firefox/Opera/Safari.
Actual page:
http://109.74.203.141/stack/1/tmp.html
Your footerCopyright div is set to position: relative; bottom: 15px;
When I set the bottom to 0 it lines up on the bottom in FF.
I believe this is a beginner's CSS question. I am utilizing the method described in http://www.xs4all.nl/~peterned/examples/csslayout1.html to fix a header to the top and a footer to the bottom.
What I'd like to achieve now is two columns inside the content div. A left one of 200px and a right one that takes up the rest of the width.
Unfortunately, I can't get the left and right divs to display correctly: they just don't grow vertically, and if I make the right div "width: 100%" it positions itself underneath the left one.
What is the trick to make the left and right div take up all the space within the content div?
The layout1.css is the original one. I just added two entries: #left and #right
layout1.css:
/**

Just in case somebody else stumbles onto this question like me. This is what I ended up doing.
<div class="left">
text
</div>
<div class="right">
text
</div>
.left {
float: left;
width: 200px;
}
.right {
margin-left: 200px;
}
And for simpler cases (e.g., when you don't need border on the right element), you don't even have to specify left width twice: http://jsfiddle.net/j8T9v/1/
Another example, without setting up width at all. Left element takes as much space as it needs, right - the rest: http://jsfiddle.net/j8T9v/2/
The way I usually do it is by using the float and padding properties.
HTML:
<div id="leftCol">
content
</div>
<div id = "rightCol">
content
</div>
CSS:
#leftCol {
width: 200px;
}
#rightCol {
width: 100%;
float: right;
padding-left: 200px;
}
Should work.
So you are using float, and padding to put the div's side by side.
You might need:
position: absolute;
top: 0px;
right: 0px;
in your #rightCol CSS style (Not tested btw... from memory)
I'm trying to set up a simple horizontal tab structure for a page I'm working on, and I'm running into some trouble with floating div's combined with z-index.
Viewing the following code in a browser:
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" />
<title>Untitled Document</title>
<style type="text/css">
#main { width: 500px; z-index: 1;}
.left { float: left; width: 96px; background-color: red; border: 2px solid orange; z-index: 2; margin-right: -2px }
.right { float: left; width: 396px; background-color: #09c; border: 2px solid green; z-index: 3; }
.clear { clear: both; }
</style>
</head>
<body>
<div id="main">
<div class="left">
LEFT
</div>
<div class="right">
RIGHT
<br />
RIGHT
</div>
<div class="clear"></div>
</div>
</body>
</html>
Why doesn't the left div's orange border overlap the right div's green border?
z-index property will not apply to statically positioned elements. In order to use z-index the CSS must also include any position value other than static (ie relative, absolute, fixed).
.left { float: left; width: 96px; background-color: red; border: 2px solid orange; z-index: 3; margin-right: -2px; position: relative; }
.right { float: left; width: 396px; background-color: #09c; border: 2px solid green; z-index: 2; position: relative; }
Will give you what you want I think. I added position: relative; and changed the z-index of the .left to 3 (from 2) and changed the z-index of .right to 2 (from 3).
z-index has no effect on elements that are not positioned (eg position:absolute;)
Use the position property for element upper. Adding position:relative to .left.
Negative margin-left?
.right { float: left; width: 396px; background-color: #09c; border: 2px solid green; z-index: 3; margin-left: -5px;}
