I'd be glad if you could help me with some positioning. Here is the website.
Problem is my footer. I can't make it show always below container (if text container goes below img). If text is short enough to not go below img its ok. I tried many solutions, but non of them seemed to work for me. Solution to this could be making slider div with background, but I can't use it because I want it to fit the screen (so I need to use <img> inside it.) Any help would be much appreciated. Long story short:
<div id="container">
<div class="slider"><img with background</div>
<div id="page absolute div">
content
</div>
</div>
<div id="footer"></div>
Another solution could be stretching "container" height when "page" div keeps getting bigger, but its not possible (from what I know) because its position is absolute.

div id dol is footer
how website looks to me: http://i.stack.imgur.com/yjY2a.png
i want footer (div id dol) to be below that absolute div with content
I see nothing wrong with your page, so I don’t understand what you are trying to do. However, have you considered using floats and clearing with your footer?
using firefox to see the code and css, I can't find a 'footer'....?

I'm sure this is some stupid CSS mistake, but in this template website I'm making, whenever I put more than one line of text in the content div, it misplaces the two background divs on either side of it. Here is the HTML and CSS:

I have tried everything I can think of, but I don't know what could be wrong with it.
First, there's no such thing as float:center. If you remove that and change the position value for your content div from relative to absolute, then it works.

If you want to keep it fixed width then just add float: left to the content css
If you want to have it fluid then you'll want to take a look at using the display: table|table-row|table-cell css properties to do it
Try placing your backgroundright div above content div,
<div id="backgroundright">
</div>
<div id="content">
<p></p>
</div>
Hope this helps
I have a div called #background. I have most of my content in it and I want it to resize when I add more content. As far as I know the way to do this is to assign it no height?
I have done this in my layout.css file.
As far as I can see, my #background doesnt close until after the last bit of content which is what I want, but it's not working. It seems to be just stopping after my #special offers div, I#m not sure why this is?

I didn't find any background div but a backdrop one..
I guess this is the one you are talking about. You should assign "overflow: auto;" to it.
Also make sure none of its content elements are not floated, and if there are (or better yet in any case) just put a <div style="clear:both;"></div> just before you end the #background div.
Ok, so I'm working on a prototype of my UI before I start coding the webapp. I got the design mostly done while working in Firefox and (of course) when I tested it in IE, there were a lot of rendering issues. One of those issues is that if I have a div that contains some text and another div that's set to float:right, that nested div shows up on the next line, below its parent div. This is the problem markup in its simplest form...
<div style="background-color:red;">
Text
<div style="background-color:yellow; float:right;">Right</div>
</div>
I scoured the internet for solutions and the only working relevant solution I found that makes this work in IE is to place the floating div at the beginning of its parent like this...
<div style="background-color:red;">
<div style="background-color:yellow; float:right;">Right</div>
Text
</div>
In reality, the nested div has a class and my CSS is floating that class. But what happens if I eventually make another stylesheet to target mobile devices and I no longer want that inner div to be floated? Then the content itself would be out of order in HTML, just for the sake of accommodating a CSS issue in IE. Is there a better way to solve this?
A colleague of mine recently had a very similar problem. I recommended simply using positioning rather than floating. I believe you could do the same here:
<div style="background-color:red; position:relative;">
Text
<div style="background-color:yellow; position:absolute; right:0; top:0;">Right</div>
</div>
I don't know if you have a requirement to use floats or not. Using the positioning method will cause the positioned element to not take up space in normal flow, but otherwise keep the correct source order and visually accomplish what I think you want to do.
Set a width value on your inner div and make it display: inline-block. Div's are block elements that take 100% width of the parent, that's why IE puts it on the next line.
I am not sure if it is a possibility for you, but putting the text within the outer div in a div of its own seems to solve the problem
<div style="background-color:red;">
<div style="float: left;">Text</div>
<div style="background-color:yellow; float:right;">Right</div>
</div>
I just hit this problem in IE7 - in my case, the item that was going to clear the float was going to be full width anyway. I just set that to "float: none;clear: left" and it seems to work.
ok this header image is driving me crazy-- ive cleaned up the divs and edited the css - before i learn positioning etc, id love to see a quick fix that just puts that image down at the bottom of the page
sorry, the question was in the title-- im trying to get the footer not to float on top of the page but ive gotten some responses about absolute positioning so ill try and work on that myself, additional answers still appreciated, thanks

Your main content div appears to be the div with the id "to_div". Your footer floats to the top because you've used position:absolute on to_div which takes it out of the flow. Either absolutely position your div on the bottom or stop using absolutely positioning. I recommend the latter.
That happens because you have set up to absolute the position of each div (to_text, nav_deals, etc.) but the div that contains the footer is rendered as a normal div element (because its position is not absolute)!
I suggest to redo this simple layout without the absolute positioning! Or you can solve by setting to absolute even the position of the last div!
The problem is that you are using absolutes. Absolutes do not affect the flow (in other words for the positioning of other elements it's as if they don't exist).
Do something like this (I've put the css as text)
<div id="wrapper">
<div id = "main">
<div id="to">FLOAT:LEFT</div>
<div id="from">FLOAT:RIGHT</div>
<p class="extro">CLEAR:BOTH</p>
</div>
<div id="footer"></div>
</div>
When I specify a height in the style for any element inside of this, IE makes the entire thing 100% width, rather than keeping it "autosized" for width.
Other browsers display it fine, but not IE. How do I fix this?
<div style="position:absolute;top:50px;left:50px;background:green;">
<div>
<div>test</div>
<div style="height: 20px;">this makes it 100% width in IE. why?</div>
</div>
</div>
Thanks!
Here's something that may work for you. It's a little hacky, but if you're trying to find a good width for some text, this is the only way besides javascript that I know of. We're basically forcing the width by not allowing the line to break. You can put in <br/>s if you need line breaks.
<div style="position:absolute;top:50px;left:50px;background:green;width:0px">
<div>
<div>test</div>
<div style="height:50px; white-space:nowrap">This is normally sized in IE6</div>
</div>
</div>
On second thought, don't check out the link. It's old and doesn't work as advertised.

I believe that non-absolutely positioned DIVs automatically expand to fill their container horizontally. Since you haven't specified any container size for this div, it expands to fill the whole page.
I find it odd that Firefox doesn't expand the div... I'm not sure which of them actually has it "right".
At a guess, I would say it's something to do with the hasLayout bug in IE6. My suggestions:
1. Give the containing div (the one with the absolute positioning) a set width.
2. Post an example of what you are trying to achieve. We might be able to suggest a more all-browser friendly way of doing what you want.
