try to remove padding and margin from body and html elements
html, body {
margin: 0; padding: 0;
}
As a good practice you could load a normalize or reset stylesheet as a first css (e.g. http://meyerweb.com/eric/tools/css/reset/) to remove style discrepancies among browsers
Using a css reset like http://yui.yahooapis.com/2.9.0/build/reset/reset-min.css or http://meyerweb.com/eric/tools/css/reset/ will help.
try this demo
only add this to the top of your css
html, body {
margin: 0 auto;padding:0;
}
0 for the top and bottom margin and auto for the left and right margin to make it in the center
Another option as specified by #Fabrizio is to use normalize CSS.

I am new to the world of HTML5 and I am trying to build a layout to give me a better understanding on how i can move on from HTML4. I have currently built a layout but wanted to check:
If my code is written correctly (any tips or advice would be really appreciated, as first time I am writing in HTML5 so want to make sure im doing things right)
trying to fix the footer to sit at the bottom of the page, overlapping the sidebar and section2 slightly but at present it is showing across the middle of the page.
I have noticed when viewing the site in Firefox and using Firebug the site does not show up in the exact size that I have defined in the CSS, so would like to understand why this is.
The following is my code:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<title>BrightBees Layout</title>
<link href="styles2.css" rel="stylesheet" />
</head>
<body>
<div id ="container">
<header>
<h1>This my Header</h1>
<nav><h2>My Navigation Bar<h2></nav>
</header>
<div id="banners"><h2>My Banners<h2></div>
<aside id="sidebar"><h2>My SideBar<h2></aside>
<section id="content"><h2>This is my section1</h2></section>
<section id="list"><h2>This is my section2</h2></section>
</div>
<footer>
<h3>This is my footer</h3>
</footer>
</body>
</html>
My CSS:
body {
background:#FFF;
}
#container {
margin: 0px auto 0px auto;
width:960px;
border:1px solid #CCC;
}
header {
margin:0;
padding:0px;
text-align:center;
height:166px;
}
nav {
height:65px;
text-align:center;
background:#CCC;
}
#banners {
margin:0;
height:253px;
background:#01AEF0;
text-align:center;
}
#sidebar {
height:600px;
width:310px;
background:#ec8400;
float:left;
text-align:center;
}
#content {
height:300px;
width:650px;
background:#CCC;
float:right;
text-align:center;
}
#list {
height:300px;
width:650px;
background:#01AEEF;
float:right;
text-align:center;
}
footer {
margin:0;
padding:0;
text-align:center;
font-weight:bold;
height:167px;
background:#efefef;
z-index:-1px;
text-align:center;
}
Thanks in advance for looking at this, any advice would be greatly appreciated.
give height to the 'container' in css file should be in 'px'...
example
#container {
margin: 0px auto 0px auto;
width:960px;
border:1px solid #CCC;
height: 600px
}
it should work fine
some steps to to at first:
Remove default browser margin and padding.
* {
margin: 0px;
padding: 0px;
}
Remove margin:0 and padding:0 from .header, .footer and #banner.
use meta viewport tag to make it more responsive:
<head>
<title>BrightBees Layout</title>
<link href="styles2.css" rel="stylesheet" />
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0">
</head>
Use classes instead of ID's, they're too specific. Leave ID's for JS.
See here for the difference between ID's and classes:

I have added the following to my footer tag in the css file and this overlaps behind the sidebar/section that i required.
margin-top: -80px;
Thanks guys for looking at this for me, really appreciate it.
I am working on my portfolio page for class. I am trying to get the web page to adjust with the browser when the browser gets resized. Mainly the navigation links I have in header.

You can use the standard resize DOM event. Then at
window.onresize = function(event) {
...
}
you can adjust the elmenets positions and size accordingly.
However In general, you could avoid fixed sizes and provide percentage values for your DOM elements, in order for them to resize automatically under all screen sizes and ratios. For example, if your page has a vertical orientation, change width to 100% and have your #main element always align the center of the screen:
#main{
width:650px; /*or 70% */
height:200px;
margin-left:auto;
margin-right:auto;
text-align:center;
margin-top:200px;
}
Here is an example with the code :http://jsfiddle.net/TZGXf/4/
Here is a full screen: http://jsfiddle.net/TZGXf/4/embedded/result/
Instead of using set widths like width: 1000px; use percentage values like width: 100%;. But be careful as this can cause unforeseen problems.
I have a wrapper with inside a header, a left column and the main content.
Outside the wrapper i got the footer.
My problem is that main content, if there's not enough text, doesn't stretch till the bottom of the page. If i insert lorem ipsum etc, being many rows it's all ok, but if i try with only few rows, the main div stops before the very end of the wrapper (or better, the end of the page, before the footer).
Here's my html code
<?php session_start();
unset($_SESSION['message']);
?>
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<link rel="stylesheet" href="../css/stili.css" type="text/css" />
<script type="text/javascript" src="../script/scripts.js"></script>
<meta charset="utf-8"/>
<title></title>
<style>
</style>
</head>
<body>
<div id="wrapper">
<div id="header">
<?php
include('../php/header.php');
?>
</div>
<div id="leftcolumn">
<?php
include('../php/leftcolumn.php');
?>
</div>
<div id="main" >Welcome to our site
...Some text, but not enough to stretch to the end of page...
</div>
<div style="clear: both"></div>
</div>
<div id="footer">Copyright 2013</div>
</body>
</html>
And here's the CSS
html,
body {
padding:0;
margin:0;
height:100%;
}
#wrapper {
min-height:100%;
height:auto;
margin:0 auto -30px;
width:950px;
background-color:#E3AA56;
}
#main {
float:right;
width:680px;
padding:10px;
background:#E0CD90;
text-align:justify;
overflow: auto;
}
#main a{
font-size:40px;
}
#footer{
border-top: 2px solid #CCCCCC;
width:950px;
margin:auto ;
height:30px;
background:#ee5;
clear: both;
}
Thanks in advice to everyone that will help finding the problem!
Splitting a page into multiple columns stretching automatically the height of the viewport is an ongoing topic. Just google for that, there are several CSS based solutions around there.
The problem is, that the height of the surrounding boxes are undefined (html, body, wrapper in your case). You may only add some "style" if theres a size on the parent as well.
One weired solution is, to set the style of the html object:
<html style="overflow:hidden;clip:
rect(auto);height:100%;;margin:0px;padding:0px;
background-color:white;">
(yes, it's not forbidden, you CAN do that and it's even IE 6 and 7 proven...)
and
#wrapper {
min-height:100%;
height:100%';
margin:0 auto -30px;
width:950px;
background-color:#E3AA56;
overflow: hidden; /* not sure if you want that */
}
Here are the keys to your problem you should look at and implement however you want:
html, body {
height: 100%;
min-height: 100% /* for firefox */
}
#wrapper, #leftcolumn, #main {
height: 100%;
}
You dont need to add height in wrapper it will get the height based on the content inside a wrapper :)
Is this how you want it to be like? If not, then please let me know and I'll revise my answer.
UPDATE:-
#main {
height:100%
}
#wrapper {
height:100%
}
#leftcolumn {
padding:10px;
height:100%;
}
This should work.
UPDATE 2:-
#main {
height:100%;
}
#wrapper {
height:100%;
overflow:hidden;
min-height:500px; (you can change this to your liking)
}
#footer {
position:relative;
}
This should give you the results you expect. No need to add my previous styling, just use this one now.
If you compare the following 2 pages:
Page 1: http://goldencraft.co/wp/
Page 2: http://goldencraft.co/wp/contact/
CSS: http://goldencraft.co/wp/wp-content/themes/minecraft/style.css
You'll see that when there is content, the footer isn't properly sticking. I have been trying to fix it for an hour, so I'm hoping someone can spot the problem inside the CSS, thanks.
Example of sticky footer
The culprit appears to be the iframe right before the </body> tag. It has a visibility:hidden rule, which will allow it to displace elements on the page (in comparison to display:none).
You can either remove it, or add the following css:
iframe {
display:none;
}
Now just replace to yor #footer ID in your css file
#footer {
background-color: #252525;
bottom: 0;
left: 0;
position: fixed;
right: 0;
}
Try this one
CSS
html,body{height:100%; width:100%; margin:0px; padding:0px;}
#wrapper{width:100%; height:100%; min-height:100%; height:auto; margin:0 auto; margin-bottom:-100px !important; background-color:#999999;}
#push{min-height:100px;}
#footer{min-height:100px; width:100%; overflow:hidden; background-color:#FF0000;}
HTML
<body>
<div id="wrapper">
<div id="push"></div><!-- do not remove -->
</div>
<div id="footer">Footer</div>
</body>
I've been trying to make this work for a while and it never seems to work out. I think its because my HTML structure is slightly different than the ones in the example. My problem is, on pages that are smaller than the viewport, the footer is not automatically pushed to the bottom, and the #main div is not extended to the footer.
Here's my HTML:
<html>
<body>
<div id='container'>
<div id='main'>
<div id='content'> </div>
</div>
<div id='footer'> </div>
</div>
</body>
</html>
And here would be my basic CSS, without implementation of CSS Sticky Footer:
div#container {
width:960px;
margin:0 auto;
}
div#main {
background-color:black
padding-bottom:30px;
}
div#content {
width:425px;
}
div#footer {
position:relative;
bottom:0;
width:inherit;
height:90px;
}
To clarify: Lets say the background of div#main is black. Now lets say, on a page, there's only 1 line of text in div#main. So I want to make the #main area extend all the way down to the footer (which is at the bottom of the page) even when there isn't enough content to force that to happen. make sense?
And One more thing. The #main area has a different background color than the body. So the #main background has to extend all the way down to the footer, cause if there's a gap, the body color peaks through instead
Try making the footer position:fixed.

Update
I'm a little bit closer: http://jsfiddle.net/QwJyp/1/. Perhaps somebody can build off it. If you remove the line with !important defined, it allows the main with height:100% to show up. But there's still a lot of extra padding at the bottom of the div which I can't figure out. I'll continue later when I have more time. Good luck! Hopefully this helps with some direction.

EDIT
Using the technique in the article above (tested - and works in fiddle):
HTML
<html>
<head>
</head>
<body>
<div id='container'>
<div id='main'>
<div id='content'>Hello</div>
</div>
<div id='footer'> </div>
</div>
</body>
</html>
CSS
html, body {
margin: 0; padding: 0; height: 100%;
}
div#container,div#main {
background-color: #333;
}
div#container {
min-height:100%; width:960px; margin:0 auto; position:relative;
}
div#main {
padding-bottom:90px; margin:0; padding:10px;
}
div#content {
width:425px;
}
div#footer {
position:absolute; bottom:0; width: 100%; height:90px; background-color: #ADF;
}
idea is to have #main with padding-bottom x, container min-height: 100%, footer after container and with margin-top -x
Try using with absolute position for the footer div
<div id='container'>
<div id='main'>
<div id='content'> </div>
</div>
<div id='footer'> </div>
</div>
Make sure that body height is 100%
html,body
{ height:100%;
padding:0;
margin:0;
}
div#container {
width:960px;
margin:0 auto;
position:relative;
height:100%;
}
div#main {
background-color:black;
padding-bottom:90px;
}
div#content {
width:425px;
}
div#footer {
position:absolute;
bottom:0;
width:inherit;
height:90px;
width:960px;
}
I know the html is structured differently than what you're working with, but perhaps you can alter your core structure to mimic this (because it works): CSS Sticky Footer
It looks like this group has done a lot of research on the topic and have found this it be the best (maybe the only?) way...through many different versions.
