Ok so i am trying to create a 3 column layout with css and html on Expression web and when i view it in a browser my left panel div column overlaps my heading div column and my right panel div column overlaps the header also.Plus theirs a lot of white space between my main content column and my right panel column. Its no white space in between the layout when its minimized but it still overlaps.please help
I'm not sure what your specific problem is without seeing your code. I find the best way to learn CSS is by example. so, I'd suggest looking through these.
(I haven't looked to see if these are using the latest design standards)

I'm hoping for some help, I have a static navbar along with some buttons on the right, and I have a VERY large table that the users are going to interact with.
The users are most familar with an Excel like view where there is a ribbon (my navbar) on top and the table is scrolled horizontal and vertically as necessary.
I've got the table to fill the page and have the bootstrap static navbar to show however the navbar is overlapping the table headers.
Is there an easy way to fix this overlap?
Here is bootstrap playground link detailing what I currently have.

Sure, give the .table-wrapper a margin-top:50px and that will move it down. Since the navbar is fixed, it's taken out of the flow of the page so the relatively positioned .table-wrapper is still being placed based off the top of the page.
What are the minimum requirements to make a table have a fixed header for vertical scrolling and a scrolling header for horizontal scrolling?
I am trying to accomplish the following with a basic HTML/CSS table:
The table that contains dynamically generated content so the cells should be the size they need to be to fit the content (not fixed width cells).
The table, should be whatever size it needs to be to accommodate the cells. The table will be wider than its container, and most likely, the screen. It should not overflow its container, but be scrollable horizontally.
The table will be inside a container that has absolute position, 0,0,0,0, to make it the size of it's parent container (which is position:relative).
When there is too much content to fit horizontally, a horizontal scroll-bar should appear that scrolls the table left-right with it's header.
When there are too many rows, a scroll bar should appear vertically, but when scrolling, the header row should not scroll vertically, it should stay visible.
There are a few Jquery plugins that add a huge feature set to tables, including this type of scrolling. Unfortunately, I don't want/need a complete table-to-grid plugin, I just need to understand the essential css rules that are required to achieve a fixed header for vertical scrolling and a scrolling header for horizontal scrolling.
Here's an example from a plugin demo page: http://www.tablefixedheader.com/fullpagedemo/. The scrolling here works the way I want, but it seems to use fixed widths and I don't know if that's required, or if javascript is calculating those widths, etc.
Specifically, what I'm looking for is someone that can explain the necessary (and only the necessary) markup and css rules that are needed to make a plain old table scroll in the way described above. I want to understand how and why the rules work.
An ideal answer would be a few lines of HTML showing which things have to be wrapped in divs, etc and a few lines of CSS showing only the critical rules that make it work, followed by an explanation of what those critical rules are doing to make it possible.
I have been trying to get the functionality working for 3 days now, and can Only get certain parts working, but not all at the same time.
In all essence, it is not the table that will be doing the scrolling, it will be the div that is holding the table that will be doing the scrolling. Let's take a look at some example code:
<div style="height:200px; overflow-y: scroll;">
<table>
....
</table>
</div>
Once the table reaches a limit where there is too much data to be held in a 200px range div, it will automatically start the scroll bar with the element overflow-y. Now, to obtain a scroll bar that will be used for horizontal and vertical scrolling, you switch from overflow-y: scroll to overflow: scroll;. I have referenced this from the following stack question.
For the last part, creating a fixed header, we can reference the following JsFiddle:
DEMO
This is again, referenced from a different stack question. The key part to this is using two tables to represent one big table. This is placing the first table on top of the second table and then enabling table-layout: fixed to keep everything together.
The real problem arises when you try to get your table to horizontally scroll, that may need JQuery or some JS derivative, so here is a good stack question to point you in the right direction.
The last thing I want to cover is the optimizing differences between tables and divs/uls/lis (we can call it a DUL to keep it short). To get a better idea of what exactly I mean, take a look at this final stack question. This may or may not pertain to you, it's honestly dependent upon how comfortable you are with changing your layout and then also whether or not you feel the need to try and optimize results. You may not need it at all, but again, something to consider.
First the example: http://jsfiddle.net/5S3mk/3/
I have a table whose columns need to be sortable so in the table header there should be links for sorting. The columns themselves are dynamic and their width is not known in advance.
In order to center the header content horizontally I used the recipe from here.
Now I'm having trouble with adjusting the spans inside container div to center vertically. Does anyone have any idea how to do this (legacy browser are not an issue)?
Here you have one way of doing it. It uses a little jQuery script, but it is really simple.
Greets,
I'm currently working on a website and have stumbled upon some layout difficulties. What I want is a website with a header (fixed hight) and followed by three columns (left, middle, left). I want the columns to stretch from top to bottom. But when I set them to a 100% height, the page gets overflow from the static header on 140px. I have included an image of the page with lots of colors to show the divs (http://oi51.tinypic.com/974rqd.jpg).
Any help is greatly appreciated!
This should solve your problem:

Set a background image that repeats vertically. Either one image for each section, or easier yet, a single image that contains the dividers of all 3 sections.
See here for an example of this being done.
quick question. I have a tabbed interface for my site but I have all the parts of the site crashing into each other. How do I achieve a fluid layout where it simply resizes when the display is smaller. I read a few articles # alistapart and made my containing div relative to the browser window and every other div within the d container relative and still nothing. any clues on what else I should be trying?

The two biggest problems I see are the banner ad on top of everything else, and the tabs running over to the next line.
The tabs seem to do that simply because you have too many. You'll either need to make them smaller/decrease padding, etc. or put fewer items in the menu.
It looks like the banner isn't positioned correctly. Margin/padding?
